Wow, so not only would all that have to occur, but also the giraffe would have to be isolated and we would hope that the giraffe baby could nurse milk off the giraffe for a long enough time to grow to reach the tree branches.
This is why the evolution community has given up on that theory of giraffe evolution and has started a new one.
Meanwhile the creationists still maintain the giraffe was created a giraffe as God designed him as one of the creatures to help maintain plant grow.
