| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |Millions of years ago all [[Giraffe]]s had short necks. [[Variation]] meant some Giraffes were a little bit taller than others. Those Giraffes could get to the higher leaves in trees. This meant they could eat more. The shorter Giraffes couldn't get enough food and died. So the taller Giraffes survived and so their offspring inherited their slightly longer necks.
| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |After a few generations all the giraffes had slightly longer necks, but because of variation some had even longer necks still. This meant they they were more likely to get food, survive and have children than the shorter giraffes. So their offspring inherited these even longer necks.
