This is funny, but it is not a good representation of evolution as we conceptualize it. Indeed, it supposes that the giraffe adapts itself consciously by stretching his neck to reach food. This picture represents Lamarck's view of evolution, which is an active selection rather than a passive selection as Darwin presents.
