They do not have short necks. They have very long necks.

compared to their body size they have short necks because when they try to drink water they have to spread out their legs to reach water so they could be attacked and if they were they would be very vulnerable.

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.
