Okapis, native to the dense rainforests of central Africa, are primarily preyed upon by large carnivores such as leopards. Leopards are skilled hunters and are capable of ambushing okapis in the forest understory. Additionally, other potential predators of okapis include African wild dogs and pythons, especially when okapis are young or vulnerable. However, due to their elusive nature and the dense habitat they inhabit, okapis have few natural predators and are largely protected from predation.
