Grazing giraffe

• by parsfan

  This giraffe ( ASG000yfma ) appears to be grazing long grass (or maybe a low bush). Is that unusual behaviour, especially with a few lush looking acacias very nearby?

  They will browse low bushes, probably young, low bushes have fresh juicy leaves. I have also seen them pick up bones from the ground and then suck them for ages apparently for the nutrients.
