A giraffe's predators are animals like lions, spotted hyenas, leopards and crocodiles, who will all take giraffe calves when the opportunity arises. Adult giraffes are very large animals, and the only predators capable of taking them on are lions. By working together, they are able to kill adult giraffes, but this is not very common - a giraffe's kick can kill a lion, and they usually prefer to hunt less dangerous prey.

Due to their sheer size, adult Giraffe's are not vulnerable to predators like leopards, hyenas, wild dogs etc. However, large lion packs headed by large Adult Male lions have been known to hunt down a full grown giraffe. But, this is very rare. On the other hand, calf's are very vulnerable to predators. A lion pack can easily kill a giraffe calf or even an adolescent. Hyena and wild doc packs too are known to prey on giraffe calves.

Lions are capable of hunting and killing adult giraffes. However, adult giraffes are dangerous prey, so lions rarely take the risk. Calves can be killed by lions, hyenas, and even leopards.
