# The extraordinarily long neck of the [[giraffe]].  It serves no function (the theory that giraffes use the long neck to eat from tree trunks was never true).  The presence of valves in the neck (which are necessary because of its great length) raises a question of how one could have arisen without the other being there first.<ref>[http://www1.pacific.edu/~e-buhals/GIRAFFE2.htm]</ref>
