Unfortunately there are only two members of the giraffe family left. They are the savannah- dwelling giraffe and the forest-living okapi. The two breeds inhabit different habitats around the world.
An Okapi (Okapia johnstoni). They are a nocturnal mammals that inhabits the sunless rain forests of the upper Congo. Its shape is similar of the giraffe's, but a little smaller. Its colors are reddish brown with black and white zebra-striped legs. The males are equipped with blunt skin-covered horns.
The only animals that are member of the giraffe family, scientifically known as the Giraffidae family, are giraffes and Okapis, which are like smaller versions of giraffes with shorter necks.
Common grazing animals that are related to the giraffe include deer, cattle, okapi. These animals share similar features and genetic heritages. They come from the family giraffidae and the order artiodactyl.
These are long necked animals with spots. They eat leaves from trees and sleep standing up, they have one baby at a time. It takes nine months to do so.
