- Abstract
The article offers the authors' insights on the study on the grazing behaviour among giraffes, typically browsing leaves of tall trees, in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. The study involved a total of 1107 giraffes from the national park, water hole areas and grasslands, in which it conducted a 180-hour-observation. They identified 21 grazing giraffes during the study period, despite the availability of woody food plants.
