I think giraffes are some of the closest desendants to dinosaurs among a few other animals. Also, according to the lame ass Good Dinosaur movie it showed a snaked looking animal with legs. So we have snakes now & at one point the apparently snakes used to have legs. But this is coming from a movie & I have zero scientific research to back my statement.
Asside from the foul and reptiles which are most closely connected to actual dinosaurs... there were many things like sabertooth cats and mammoths that were here later that were not actual dinosaurs but still have very close relatives to things still alive today. Giraffe is in that category I think. Everyone remembers the wooly mammoth and sees the connection to the elephant but no one is taught that were also wooly rhinos that went extinct and giant sloths and many other cousins of animals that are still alive today.

Its pretty interesting that elephants are the second largest species on the planet now (that we know of) cause there was alot of shyt roaming about bigger than elephants not too long ago... and not even dinos.
