The Giraffe

These goofy guys are also known as giraffe gazelles, and appropriately so—they have elongated necks for the same reason that giraffes do: to eat tall trees. Though neither animal got their elegant necks by stretching (sorry, Lamarck), their stature really does help them reach food that other animals can’t access. Standing upright, they can reach leaves over six feet off the ground, and their adorable pointy mouths help them pull munchies from between thorns.
