Although the Okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of the Zebra, it is most closely related to the giraffe. Okapis have reddish dark backs, with striking horizontal white stripes on the front and back legs, making them resemble Zebras from a distance. These markings possibly help young follow their mothers through the dense rain forest and may also serve as camouflage. The body is similar of the Giraffe, except that Okapis have much shorter necks. Both species have very long (approximately 35 centimeters), flexible, blue tongues that they use to strip leaves and buds from trees.

Okapis are found in the dense, tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They prefer areas with thick vegetation, lowland forests, and clearings for foraging. Okapis are primarily solitary animals and are known for their elusive nature in the dense forest habitat.
Okapis are primarily threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation, mining, and human settlement encroachment. Additionally, they are hunted for their meat and skin, and are sometimes inadvertently caught in snares meant for other animals. Climate change is also causing disruptions in their habitat and affecting their food sources.
