【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题，需结合语境、语法规则及固定搭配逐一分析每个空：
1. 第1空：while引导时间状语从句，当从句主语与主句主语一致且含be动词时，可省略主语和be动词，主语I与walk是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。
2. 第2空：giraffes与leave是被动关系，需用过去分词作后置定语修饰giraffes。
3. 第3空：固定搭配the number of表示“……的数量”，此处需定冠词the。
4. 第4空：此处指人类（复数概念），需用名词复数形式。
5. 第5空：杀害长颈鹿的目的是吃肉，用不定式作目的状语。
6. 第6空：in the near future（在不久的将来）是一般将来时的标志，需用将来时态。
7. 第7空：固定句型it's time for sb to do sth，需用不定式结构。
8. 第8空：固定短语be filled with表示“充满”，需填对应介词。
9. 第9空：stop doing sth表示“停止正在做的事”，此处指停止杀害，需用动名词形式。
10. 第10空：前后是并列的两个建议，需用并列连词连接。
【解析】
1. 考查非谓语动词（现在分词）：while引导的时间状语从句省略结构，主动关系用walking，故填walking。
