Description
This book is the first to examine in detail the anatomy and evolution of the giraffe, showing that there were species of giraffe, extinct now, in North Africa and suggesting that okapis lived there as well. It explores skeletal differences in these species, and considers the anatomy of their necks, limbs, tongues and eyes. In addition, the book addresses features of locomotion in these species, and describes the evolution of the giraffe in comparison to other Giraffidae.
