Best Answer

The relatively long necks of a gazelle are a concurrent adaptation required by the development of long legs, which allows Gazelles to outrun most predators. Also, the longer neck allows them to see over the top of the grass of the savannah, which helps them find predators before they get too close.

giraffes are omnivores so they eat primarily plants and vegetation, which is abundant in trees which are, you guessed it, TALL. most other animals cant reach or climb trees so they scavenge on the ground where over time vegetation will become more scarce due to all the traffic. sooo, long neck + tall trees = more food for giraffes.
