A giraffe has two gaits: walking and galloping. When walking the right legs move together and the left legs together. When galloping, the giraffe uses its front legs together and its back legs together. The walk has an ambling rhythm with the neck working in synchronicity to keep the body in balance.
Giraffes are avid eaters when food is plentiful. They prefer to consume what is in the trees including twigs and leaves. Their eating habits often encourage the growth of new foliage too which means that they can return to feed in that location on and off again. They also will consume a variety of types of fruits that seasonally grow in the trees. What they will consume depends on the time of year and where they reside.
