Detailed explanation-1: -A famous example of a structural adaptation is a giraffe’s long neck. The giraffe has evolved its impressive neck so it can eat leaves from the tallest trees. This means it doesn’t have to compete for food with other animals, giving it the best chance of survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -The giraffe’s long neck is a perfect adaptation to the animal’s natural habitat. Clearly the giraffe evolved this uncommon and helpful trait in order to reach those nourishing leaves. That’s how natural selection works.

Detailed explanation-3: -Giraffes have adaptations, which are physical traits or behaviors that help animals survive in their natural habitat. Giraffes have a long neck that helps them reach their favorite food and look out for predators. They also have a dark, thick prehensile tongue, meaning it can twist and wrap around, and grab things.

Detailed explanation-4: -Charles Darwin held up giraffes as a prime example of natural selection, his theory that’s often summarized as “survival of the fittest.” Giraffes with comparably longer necks could reach food high up in trees, which gave them an advantage over other animals and members of their own species with shorter necks.
