An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Giraffokeryx is considered monotypic by most authors, but other species have been assigned to the genus: * G. chinjensis was assigned to the genus but later included within the extinct species Giraffa priscilla. The distribution of this latter species and Giraffokeryx punjabiensis indicates that the Himalayas still didn't act as a barrier for faunal dispersal during the middle Miocene.[3] * G. anatoliensis, a partial skull with a post-orbital horn and isolated teeth from Turkey, had shorter and less inclined horns than G. punjabiensis.[4]

  • Giraffokeryx is considered monotypic by most authors, but other species have been assigned to the genus: * G. chinjensis was assigned to the genus but later included within the extinct species Giraffa priscilla. The distribution of this latter species and Giraffokeryx punjabiensis indicates that the Himalayas still didn't act as a barrier for faunal dispersal during the middle Miocene.[3] * G. anatoliensis, a partial skull with a post-orbital horn and isolated teeth from Turkey, had shorter and less inclined horns than G. punjabiensis.[4] Although it bore a very superficial resemblance to the modern okapi, it was closely related to the sivatheres Bramatherium and Sivatherium
