∙ 13y agoOne of the most obvious advantages of a giraffes neck is that it can reach its food which is found up high in the tree tops of Africa. Because of its long neck it can survive off food that hardly any other animals can reach. Giving it a better chance of survival.
Some less thought of ideas are that it makes the Giraffe look bigger. This immediately makes predators like lions think that it is too big to be messed with.
Giraffes also use there necks to fight with against other competing Giraffes, but I guess that's not really an advantage...

I know from experience that giraffes can get sore throats in the winter if they are left in the cold. That is why you will never see giraffes at the zoo during winter months.

Darwin and Lamarck had different ideas about why all giraffes now have long necks why?
Lamarck would have said that the ancestors of modern-day giraffes had short necks but stretched their necks as they tried to reach leaves in trees; so, their descendants were born with longer necks. Darwin would have said that in a population of ancestral giraffes, some had slightly longer necks than others; the long-necked giraffes were better able to feed on tree leaves and as a result produced more offspring. Over time, the proportion of longnecked giraffes in the population increased.
If Lamark and Darwin had debated why giraffes have such long necks how would their explanations differed?
