Are giraffes legs and necks too long or too short?

As their legs just touch the ground without any excess, I must say they are just right. Of course this is always the answer isn't it?

LOL, a good one but not the one I was looking for. The notion that the giraffes neck and leg dimensions were naturally selected is one that is rather dubious if one has ever seen a giraffe drink water. :-}

Not to mention the fact that male giraffes are much taller than female giraffes. I guess they were male chauvinist pig giraffes who bent the trees down so their mates could chow down.
