The okapi, often called the “forest giraffe,“ is a unique mammal native to the dense rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite its zebra-like stripes on its legs, the okapi is actually more closely related to the giraffe. Okapis have long, dark tongues, similar to giraffes, which they use to strip leaves from trees and groom themselves. They are solitary animals, known for their elusive nature, making them difficult to spot in the wild. Okapis have large, sensitive ears that help them detect predators, like leopards, in their thick forest habitat. This mysterious and rare creature was only discovered by Western scientists in the early 20th century. #okapi #babyokapi #okapis #okapisoftiktok #cuteanimals #animalfacts
