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.

The closest living relative of the giraffe is the okapi. Both giraffes and okapi belong to the family Giraffidae. The Giraffidae share a common ancestor with deer and bovids, the latter of which includes cattle and antelope.
