About
The okapi is a forest-dwelling relative of the giraffe with a build similar in height to a horse.
Although it is the only living relative of the giraffe, the okapi has a much shorter neck adapted for life in dense rainforests. Females are generally slightly taller and heavier than males. Unlike true giraffes that tower over the landscape, the okapi has a compact frame suited for slipping through thick underbrush.
From Wikipedia
The okapi, also known as forest giraffe and zebra giraffe, is an artiodactyl mammal that is endemic to the northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is the only species in the genus Okapia.
