There are two main groups of extinct giraffids : one group with robust limb bones, the Sivatheriinae, represented by " Sivatherium " during the Plio-Pleistocene, and another with long, slender limb bones classified in different subfamilies; either Giraffinae and Palaeotraginae or just Giraffinae ( with the two tribes, Giraffini and Palaeotragini ).

This animal was medium-sized, slender and antelope-like . " Giraffokeryx " appeared 15 mya in the Indian subcontinent and resembled an okapi or a small giraffe, and had a longer neck and similar ossicones . " Giraffokeryx " may have shared a clade with more massively built giraffids like " Sivatherium " and " Bramatherium ".
