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.
