Odd that the deer's neck didn't evolve to not fit the lion's mouth.

How would that have imparted a survival advantage for the deer?

It works for the elephant. The deer has other ways to escape.

Because the deer would survive, and then could reproduce and pass on its genes. Seems self-evident to me.
