A giraffe is an herbivore-albeit I've heard of them eating meat on occasion-it's rare that they do, and not their normal diet. RealFriends Â· 9 years ago. Thumbs up.
Giraffes are non-territorial, social animals. They travel in large herds that are not organized in any way. Herds may consist of any combination of sexes or ages.
