  Family Giraffidae or giraffes and okapis
The family Giraffidae is made up of only two species; the giraffe and okapi.
The okapi, Okapia johnstoni, in the giraffe family, Giraffidae, is unusual among mammals in that the female is larger than the male.
The nuclear DNA data suggested that the Antilocaprinae comprise a unique evolutionary lineage, the Cervidae and Bovidae are sister taxa while the Giraffidae is more primitive.

  Giraffidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The biological family Giraffidae contains just two members, the Giraffe and the Okapi.
Both are confined to sub-saharan Africa: the Giraffe to the open savannas, and the Okapi to the dense rainforest of the Congo.
The closest relatives of the Giraffidae are the other members of the suborder Ruminantia, which include cattle, goats, sheep, and antelope.

 Giraffidae - Giraffe and okapi
The family Giraffidae has two extant members: the savannah-dwelling giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) and the forest-living okapi (Okapia johnstoni).
The fossil record of the Giraffidae begins in Africa during the Miocene, extending to the present on this continent.
The Giraffidae maintain the typical ruminant dentition: I 0/3, C 0/1, P 3/3, M 3/3 x 2 = 32.

This is in contrast to the okapi, the other member of the family Giraffidae.
There is, however, ongoing discussion of the development of giraffidae in the literature that may ultimately only be resolved by more sophisticated genetic studies (Gatesy and Arctander, 2000).

Giraffidae, okapi (Okapiajohnstoni), and giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis): evidence for ancestral telomeres at the okapi polymorphic rob (4;26) fusion site.The human prosaposin gene (PSAP) was previously localized to 10q21-->q22 by isotopic in situ hybridization using a human prosaposin cDNA as a probe.
The present study, using fluorescence in situ hybridization with a mouse genomic prosaposin fragment as probe, confirms the localization of PSAP and precisely maps it to band 10q22.1.

 MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Six families are traditionally recognized within the suborder–Ruminantia: Antilocapridae (pronghorns), Bovidae (cattle, sheep, and antelopes), Cervidae (deer), Giraffidae (giraffes and okapis), Moschidae (musk deer), and Tragulidae (chevrotains).
The interrelationships of the families have been an area of controversy among morphology, palaeontology, and molecular studies, and almost all possible evolutionary scenarios have been proposed in the literature.
Within the pecorans, Antilocapridae and Giraffidae emerge first, and the families Bovidae, Moschidae, and Cervidae are allied, with the unexpected placement of Moschus close to bovids rather than to cervids.

 Find Free Essays on Giraffidae family
Giraffidae Family The giraffidae family consists of two living species: giraffe and okapi.
Scientists in earlier times stated that the okapi was extinct and the giraffe was the only living Giraffid (member of the giraffidae family) left.
Giraffid fossils, which have been found as far back as the Miocene period, led to many theories by curious scientists.
