Giraffe's kin (5)
I believe the answer is:
okapi
'giraffe's kin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for okapi that I've seen before include "Giraffe-like mammal" , "beast from Africa" , "One of the giraffe family" , "Wild animal" , "rainforest ruminant" .)
