Giraffes have long necks primarily to reach high foliage in trees, allowing them to access food that other herbivores cannot. This adaptation also plays a role in sexual selection, as males with longer necks tend to have an advantage in neck Wrestling contests, which can help them win mates. Additionally, their long necks provide a better vantage point for spotting predators in their savanna habitat.
