In the case of a giraffe, Lamarck believed that giraffes once had short necks that got progressively longer as members of each subsequent generation stretched their necks as long as they could. In doing so, Lamarck believed that each generation would grow slightly longer necks and pass that trait onto their offspring.

geologist James Hutton
Q. What are the 3 theories of Lamarck?
Lamarckism v/s Darwinism Lamarck proposed theories like the inheritance of acquired characters, use and disuse, increase in complexity, etc. whereas Darwin proposed theories like inheritance, different survival, species variation, and extinction.

Q. Why are giraffes so tall?
At up to 5.8 metres tall (19 feet), giraffes are the tallest animal on land, thanks to their unusually long necks. This idea has been around since 1809, when French naturalist Jean Baptiste Lamarck suggested that the giraffe’s long neck evolved from its continual striving to reach food.
Q. Why are giraffes tongues black?
If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be licked by a giraffe, you’ll notice that their 50cm-long tongues can appear purple, bluish or almost black in colour. This is due to the density of dark ‘melanin’ colour pigments in them.

Q. What color are giraffes tongue?
The colour of the tongue is best described as black, blue or purple with a pink base/back. It is generally assumed that the front part of the tongue has such dark coloration to protect it during frequent sun exposure while eating and prevent the tongue from getting sunburned, however, no one really knows.
Q. Why is giraffe blood blue?
These arthropods’ blood uses a different protein, called hemocyanin, to bind oxygen. Because that binding process involves an atom of copper, rather than iron, the blood has a blue appearance when it’s oxygenated, and little or no color when it’s not.
Q. What does a giraffe’s tongue look like?
Giraffe tongues come in a variety of colours, usually landing somewhere on a spectrum between dark blue, dark purple, and black. But perhaps even more curiously, the dark colour doesn’t cover the entire tongue. Rather, the front half tends to be dark while the back half is a more familiar tongue-colour: pink.
Q. Which animal cleans ears with tongue?
giraffe
Q. Do giraffes eat with their tongue?
Since Giraffes eat up to 66 pounds of food a day, they use their tongues a lot; so much so that the black color of their tongues helps to prevent sunburns, ensuring that they can eat all day without interruption.
