I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "kiss." I haven't been able to find any evidence that they actually do kiss, as opposed to the general sort of nuzzling that's pretty common behavior in mammals.
They do have some interesting behaviors, though.
Giraffes do something called "necking." This is not necessarily the "inspiration point" kind of necking, though... they actually swing their necks and heads to strike each other, in some cases even knocking the other down. This appears to be a kind of dominance behavior, similar to rams butting each other.
Sometimes, though, they do rub their necks against each other as a sort of prelude to sexual activity.

Did Lamarck believes that giraffes came to have long necks through stretching their necks?
Lamarck believed that acquired traits could be inheritable. So as each generation voluntarily extended their necks, their genetics changed, allowing them to have offspring with their necks already that length.
On the other hand, Darwin would have said that the genes mutated on their own and that shorter giraffes would be unable to reach enough food and die. The rest would in turn live to pass on their beneficial genes for longer necks.
Giraffes are native to Africa but many live in zoos in all parts of the world.
Can you ride a giraffe in the us?
you really canoot ride a girrafe because , you really canoot reach its back . you need to have a ladder.
well i guess you can but it would just be wierd going around riding a super tall giraffe! you dont see many people doing that
No, we can't ride giraffes. First of all, because the neck would be too long and high to fit a bridle over it's head. Second, if no bridle, how will you control it? Third, what would we ride with? A horse's saddle would be too big to fit around a giraffe's much more thinner back. Fourth, I wouldn't want to be there when you're trying to tame one because their hooves are huge and those hits can kill you. Some animals are not tameable and the giraffe is one of those animals.
What does it mean when you dream about a giraffe?
Because dreams communicate through symbols, the giraffe in this dream represents something that has qualities like a giraffe: tall, high reach, perhaps unusual and a bit odd? The dream could reflect the dreamer's desire to "reach high," that is, to excel in an area that will require a lot of effort. Perhaps the dreamer needs to try harder to achieve a goal that seems to be "out of reach."

Newborn giraffes are very susceptible to predator attacks, however if any predator were unlucky enough to end up behind a full grown giraffe, they would probably be killed by the blow to the face from the dinnerplate sized hooves.
