The giraffe is one of only two living species of the family Giraffidae‚ the other being the okapi. The family was once much more extensive‚ with over 10 fossil genera described. Giraffids first arose 8 million years ago (mya) in south-central Europe during the Miocene epoch. The superfamily Giraffoidea‚ together with the family Antilocapridae (whose only extant species is the pronghorn)‚ evolved from the extinct family Palaeomerycidae.[9] The earliest known giraffid was the deer-like Climacoceras

Alondra Mota 4/12/12 Per.5 Once scientists began thinking about animals in terms of evolution‚ the giraffe became a seemingly straightforward example. It is as if the giraffe ’s long neck was begging to be explained by evolutionary theorists. The idea that the giraffe got its long neck due to food shortages in the lower reaches of trees seems almost self-evident. The giraffe is taller than all other mammals‚ can feed where no others can‚ and therefore has a distinct advantage. It seems compelling
