Pure speculation: But I’m wondering if the Giraffe and Camel are closely related? There are some similarities, but the main difference would be temperment. Camels have a reputation for being feisty, combative and with a terrible bite. This may be the Camel’s reaction to being a ‘beast of burden’ over the centuries. I don’t recall ever seeing a Giraffe utilized as a beast of burden, or even ridden by a grown man.
Well, camels and giraffes are both “even-toed ungulates”, so they are generally similar, but even whales are placed in that same grouping so it’s a pretty broad classification.
Giraffes & camels belong to the biological order called artiodactyl -- even-toed ungulates.
