    Good point. However, the height difference between giraffes and Brachiosaurus is still quite significant. I am not well versed enough in the exact mechanics of this but maybe it won’t scale well. Additionally, the neck of Brachiosaurus was probably far more flexible than that of a giraffe due to the higher number of vertebrae so they may be able to lower their necks more easily which reduces the pressure to evolve powerful pumping mechanisms.
