It is a Herbivore because it eats tough leaves from high up in trees in Africa.

The giraffe is classified as a herbivore because it primarily eats leaves from trees, particularly acacia leaves. Its long neck helps it reach high branches, and its digestive system is adapted to process plant material. Therefore, giraffes do not eat meat or other animals, categorizing them firmly as herbivores.
