      Because of all the other animals. If there’s a big tree with leaves at different heights, some animals can stay close to the ground and some can learn to climb and some can grow huge necks like giraffes, and then everyone will get something to eat. The important thing about evolution is that the changes just happen randomly, and if they’re good changes you have lots of babies and if they’re bad changes you don’t have any. Each animal comes from a different random change, and they all fit together in the ecosystem.
