What are the natural enemies of giraffes?

The natural enemies of giraffes are large predators such as lions and cheetahs. But adult giraffes are generally not suitable for lions or leopards to hunt, because adult giraffes are as high as 6-8m and weigh as much as 700KG, and lions cannot attack the deadly parts of giraffes when hunting. In fact, there are two situations, one is that the lion hunts the cub, and the other is that the exhausted doe protecting the cub is besieged by the lion, which can only be hunted by the lion.
