Abstract

Hou et al . challenged the giraffoid affinity of Discokeryx and its ecology and behavior. In our response we reiterate that Discokeryx is a giraffoid that, along with Giraffa , shows extreme evolution of head-neck morphologies that were presumably shaped by selective pressure from sexual competition and marginal environments.
