Injanatherium

Injanatherium is an extinct genus of giraffids from the Miocene of Iraq,[1] Saudi Arabia,[2] and Pakistan.

Species of Injanatherium had at least two pairs of long, wing-like ossicones that emanated laterally above the orbits.

I. hazimi is the type species, originally described by Heintz, et al., in 1981, on the basis of a partial skull found in middle Miocene-aged strata of Injana, Iraq, about 140 km north of Baghdad.

[2] I. arabicum is a second species initially described from a partial skull from early Miocene-aged strata of Saudi Arabia, then later from material found in similarly aged strata from Pakistan.
