Unfortunately, more than half the giraffe calves in the wild never become adults as they fall prey to predators like large cats. If they do reach adulthood, the average life expectancy of a giraffe is about 25 years in the wild and more than 30 in captivity. A fun fact about giraffes is they sleep for between 20 minutes to 2 hours a day. Even when they sleep for the longer period, they do so in 20-minute naps.
