Why do giraffes have long neck?
Answer
The short answer is that one way or another, having a long neck became an advantage for survival.
Beyond that, opinions differ. The old theory stated that the long necks allowed giraffes to eat leaves out of reach from other animals. Less competition about food can be a survival advantage.
As explanations goes, this has some weaknesses. There are plenty of other animals living alongside giraffes that seems to be doing just fine w/o reaching that high.
A newer theory is that it's more about breeding rights. Male giraffes fight by standing close to each other and swing their heads into each other. Here, a longer neck is a definite fighting advantage, and you get the elevated grazing as a side effect.
