We can't always know for sure why male animals fight over female animals. Most fighting between two males over a female happens durng mating season.

Why is the giraffe longer inside mother's womb?

if by longer you mean "taller" in the womb before its born its would be because its spine has not felt the full effects of gravity. The baby giraffe will be taller /longer before its born and trys to stand for that same reason. Once it has been born it will stand and its own weight will compress it as it does any living creature. Thus shorten it.

How does giraffe have a long neck?

Through evolution. The whole theory of evolution was first based on the giraffe's neck. Darwin say the giraffe, and asked himself the same you just asked me. He realized that all of the food that the giraffe ate came from high up in the trees. So from that observation, he inferred that the giraffes needed long necks to survive. I repeat: They NEED long necks to survive. That is the whole theory of evolution. Let us pretend it is a long time ago, and at this time giraffes have short necks. This is a problem, as the food on the ground is running out and they need a way to reach the food in the trees to survive. Out of the whole herd of giraffe, though, two of them (lets call them Gina and Patrick) were somehow born with slightly longer necks. As Gina and Patrick were the only ones in the herd who could reach the food, the rest of the giraffes died and they survived. They mated, and Gina gave birth to Donna, Hugh, and Theodore. Once Donna, Hugh, and Theodore grow up, their parents died. Hugh and Patrick and Donna all have inherited their parents genes for long necks, so they are as tall as them--except Hugh, because he is taller. Donna and Theodore can reach their food, but as the best and ripest food is at the very top of the tree, only Hugh can reach that. So Hugh grows big and strong, AND he has an EXTRA tall neck, so the females are attracted to him. So HE is the one who gets a mate,and passes on his tall-neck genes onto his children.

What is giraffes enemies?

Lions, leopards, and hyenas are the main enemy of the giraffe, although they usually attack the baby giraffes and not the full grown giraffe. But occasionally they attempt to kill an adult giraffe. A giraffe defends their baby by using their powerful legs front and back. A kick from a giraffe can kill a lion or human. Sometimes the male giraffes use their heads as weapons. Their heads can break bones and catapult the unlucky predator through the air. But giraffes are more of an animal that would rather run than fight. Since they are very fast runners they have that option.

Why do giraffes blink?

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.
