Sivatherium giganteum, an extinct giraffid, once roamed the woodlands and savannas of Africa and India during the Pleistocene. Known for its massive size, Sivatherium had a robust body, long legs, and a pair of ossicones (horn-like structures) on its head. Its diet likely consisted of leaves and shrubs.

Sivatherium giganteum was primarily found in the Indian subcontinent, with fossil evidence indicating its presence in regions that are now parts of India and Pakistan. This species existed during the Late Miocene to the Early Pleistocene epochs.

Sivatherium giganteum inhabited open woodland and savanna environments. The climate during its existence was likely warm with seasonal variations, supporting a variety of vegetation types such as grasses and scattered trees.

As a large herbivore, Sivatherium giganteum occupied a niche similar to that of modern giraffes and other browsing megafauna. It likely fed on leaves, fruits, and other plant material available in the mixed woodland and savanna habitats. Its size and browsing lifestyle suggest it played a significant role in shaping the vegetation structure of its environment.
