Why do gerafees have long necks?

Question

Why do gerafees have long necks?

Answer 1

Their food source is mainly the acacia tree, which is very tall.  They need to be able to reach the food.  Their height also helps them to see predators from a good distance away, and to be able to escape more quickly.

Here's a link to a nice bunch of information about giraffes:

Answer 2

"All the better to look down on you, my dear."

They say it's to reach food high up.  But boy, what a job for a vet to be called for a scratchy throat.

Answer 3

So they can kiss other Giraffes.

Answer 4

Do you mean giraffes?  If they had short necks they'd look kind of silly.
