Itâs herbivorous, and feeds on leaves, tree buds, and shoots from trees like the Acacia, and other thorny plants and grasses in smaller quantities. The giraffe is found in such African countries as Kenya, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. These countries have wild grassland plains, woodlands, and the savannas which are suited for them. A giraffe is social, and females live in groups of 10 to 12 animals.
