If food is scarce, then yes.

While not many other species can eat the leaves of the top of the trees, all giraffes can, and will try to eat those.

So if food is scarce they will be competing with each other for food.

Do organisms only compete with their own species?

No, organisms can compete with individuals of their own species (intraspecific competition) as well as individuals of different species (interspecific competition) for resources like food, water, and living space. Interspecific competition can further shape the distribution and abundance of different species within an ecosystem.

Why do species compete with other species?

Most environments do not have sufficient resources to support unlimited populations of all the species present. Different species that have the same requirements for habitats and food will attempt to maximize their own use of the resources. Sometimes this will occur through changes in behavior, and sometimes by alterations in the species itself to better compete. "Survival of the fittest" means that a less-well-adapted species may die out if it cannot obtain food and safe habitats. Which applies and has applied to ever species in the history of existence except for humans. For some reason we have a government that goes above and beyond its duties and does everything for its population. Wonder why democracies only have a lifespan of about 200 years...like what was said previously: survival of the fittest. Darwin had it right.
