Here are some fun okapi facts: - They are the only living relative of the giraffe. - Their distinctive leg stripes break up their body shape and are an effective camouflage in dense vegetation - The species was discovered by western scientists in the early 1900s. - They use their large ears to listen for danger.

In a dense forest with dappled light, it’s nearly impossible to see the elusive okapi! Its broken pattern of dark and light stripes helps it hide from predators. As herbivores, okapi feed on leaves, grasses, ferns, fruits and other understory plants. They use their long blue-black tongues, that can stretch up to 18 inches, to reach and grasp leaves. | Bronx Zoo

It’s World Okapi Day! Here at our Zoo, we care for two Okapis, Jabari and Kali. Okapis are often mistaken for being related to Zebras, but are actually relatives of Giraffes! Their long tongues resemble that of their relative. Above, Jabari shows off this resemblance! On your next Zoo adventure, don’t miss our Okapis, located just outside of African Grasslands! #OmahaZoo #VisitOmaha #WorldOkapiDay #Okapi | Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

Toby is the perfect okapi of Subira With their velvet fur, long tongues and striped backends, okapis may look like they're made from leftover parts, but each of their characteristics plays a part in their wild habitats. The stripes camouflage them from predators, their oily fur keeps them dry in the rainforest and their long tongues help them reach the best leaves. | San Diego Zoo
