Yes that's 2 parts of their body out of how many?

"Interestingly, a giraffe has the greatest chance of being attacked when it is drinking at a water hole. Normally, giraffes absorb most of the water they need from the food they eat. But when a giraffe needs to drink from a pool, it has to spread its legs wide so that its head can reach the water. In this position, a giraffe is hardly a match for an attacking lion."

So by giraffes evolving longer necks and legs to eat leaves higher up a tree they have to crouch to drink water which puts them at greater risk of being killed? Time to evolve longer necks and shorter legs I guess.
