answer:The camelopard adapted to reach the leaves it likes to eat; the ones that didn’t were not as successful at having offspring. By eating from leaves way up high, it doesn’t have to compete with shorter animals. If the giraffe had a long tongue and a shorter neck, where would it put the tongue while it wasn’t eating? And the giraffe doesn’t pull leaves off with its tongue, it bites them off. Pulling with his tongue would hurt. Yes, Evolution is SO weird.
