What is the structural adaptation of the giraffe?

A long neck that enables it to reach fruit and leaves at the top of trees. This adaptation happened because the giraffes with the longer necks survived when the shorter necked giraffes couldn't. The shorter necked giraffes did not have enough food to eat, as it was all unreachable in the trees. Thus the longer necked giraffes who survived mated with other long necked giraffes and produced more long necked giraffes!
