Giraffe

A giraffe may not be the first animal that comes to mind when you think of the best resilient animals. A giraffe, on the other hand, may go three weeks without drinking water. Giraffes dwell in the savanna in Africa, where it is heated all year. Giraffes feed mostly from acacia trees, but they also consume wild apricots, flowers, fruits, and buds, as well as seeds and fresh grass, especially after the rains. Giraffes acquire 70% of their moisture from their diet, so they don't need to drink much. However, when they do come across clean water, they must splay their front legs (which are longer than their back legs) to get their head near enough to drink.

Giraffes may grow to reach 18 feet tall in males and 14 feet tall in females. Bending down to drink from a stream is tough for them. When they do, they become prey to predators. As a result, their capacity to go for long periods without drinking from a stream keeps them safe. Giraffes' conservation status is in jeopardy owing to habitat degradation and poaching.

The Giraffe is now designated by the IUCN as an animal with a Low Risk of Going Extinct in its Natural Environment shortly, because the majority of Giraffe populations are stable, and in some cases, expanding. However, both hunting and habitat degradation continue to impact them, with populations farther north growing sparser and more separated from one another. A couple of the nine Giraffe species are currently classified as endangered or threatened.
