Yes, okapis are often nicknamed "forest giraffes" due to their close relation to giraffes and their unique appearance, which includes a long neck and striped legs resembling those of zebras. This nickname highlights their elusive nature and their habitat in the dense rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Okapis have striped legs as a form of camouflage, resembling the patterns of zebras. This adaptation helps them blend into their forest habitat by breaking up their outline and making it harder for predators to spot them among the dappled light and shadows of the jungle. The stripes also play a role in social interactions, as they may help young okapis recognize their mothers. Overall, the striped legs serve both protective and social functions in their environment.
