* Size: Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth, making it impossible for them to fit into any type of den or burrow.
* Lifestyle: Giraffes are primarily grazers, meaning they spend their days browsing on leaves and twigs. They need to be able to move freely around their territory to find food and water.
* Protection: Giraffes rely on their size and powerful kicks for protection from predators. They don't need the added protection of a den or burrow.
Instead of a fixed home, giraffes are nomadic, meaning they move around in search of food and water. They usually travel in groups of 5-30 individuals called herds.
