Because that is the way it has adapted to its environment.

They probably eat off bushes and things that require a long neck for instead of things like shrubs etc.

But the reason they ALL have long necks might have something to do with natural selection.

Natural selection is where a male and a female choose to mate because of their qualities (which could have been given to them via mutation in the genes) and then those advantages then get passed on to their offspring which will then pass on to their off spring etc etc.

Therefore changing the species qualities.

For example, if you saw two people standing in front of you and they both were drop-dead gorgeous and they were but perfect for you personality wise but one was rich and one was poor, which one would you ask out ?!
