Do giraffes live in canada?
Giraffes live in Africa and they only live where it is warm all the time and eat leaves of tall trees that grow all the time. Canada is on the wrong continent, it is only warm during the summer, and it only has tall trees with leaves that grow in the summer. If you let Giraffes loose in Canada in the summer they would maybe do okay. But then the temperature would drop and they would get cold. Then the leaves would fall off the trees and they would starve. And then it would snow and they would freeze if they hadn't starved already. The same would happen in the USA (except Hawaii) and most of northern Mexico.
