The half zebra, half giraffe

October 26, 2016 by manshu Leave a Comment

Learned about the fascinating animal called Okapi today.

The okapi (/oʊˈkɑːpiː/; Okapia johnstoni) is agiraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe. The okapi and the giraffe are the only living members of the family Giraffidae.

Here’s a nice little video from National Geographic about it:
