The giraffe's closest relative is the okapi.
The Okapi is a close relative of the Giraffe and was found in Central Africa, now Zaire, in 1901.
The Okapi is the closest living relative to the giraffe however other species may be included in the formation but they are yet to be discovered.
No. Just like its relative, the giraffe the Okapi tends to eat the leaves of a tree using its tongue.
No. they are animals of the Savannah.
I believe an Okapi is a relative of a giraffe (despite it's zebra-esques markings).
Giraffe, the tallest living animal. It is a ruminant (cud-chewing mammal). It lives in dry savannas of Africa, south of the Sahara. A related animal, the okapi, inhabits the forests of the upper basin of the Congo River. The giraffe is a descendent from Paleotraginae and Sivatheriinae. Paleotraginae looks like a deer with outward pointing sharp antlers. Sivatheriinae looks like a bulky horse with weird chubby antlers.And okapi looks like half zebra half horse with small antlers.

Yes, the okapi, a relative of the giraffe, is real and is native to the Ituri Rainforest, located in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Central Africa.
