The scientific family name that includes giraffes and okapis, characterized by their distinctive body shape and dietary adaptations.
From 'giraffa' (the genus) with the Latin family suffix '-idae,' used systematically in taxonomy to denote all organisms descended from a common ancestor.
The Giraffidae family is fascinating because okapis, which look like they're part zebra-antelope, are actually the giraffe's closest living relative—their shared ancestor lived millions of years ago.
