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.
