While some animals are hunted for their skin (like snakes for leather), giraffes are primarily threatened by habitat loss, poaching for their meat, and conflict with humans.
Here's why giraffes aren't hunted for their skin:
* Their skin isn't valuable for leather: Giraffe skin is quite thick and tough, making it unsuitable for most leather goods.
* Conservation efforts: Giraffes are listed as "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List, meaning they face a high risk of extinction in the wild. Their protection is a priority, and hunting them for their skin would be illegal and unethical.
It's important to remember: While giraffes aren't hunted for their skin, their populations are still facing serious threats.
