Contrary to popular belief current research shows that giraffes do not have long necks to reach food, rather they are used as "clubs" when competing with other males to mate with females. Giraffes with bigger, longer, stronger necks usually win and therfore get to mate passing on their genes to the next generation.

Yes, but only to the left. If they do it to the right, it will bend there 'neck-cord'. A neck cord is kind of like a humans spine, just on a giraffe.

It enables them to reach food (leaves) that other animals can't reach.
