Okapi: Half Giraffe, Half Zebra

Posted on 01:08 by Unknown
Okapi: Half Giraffe, Half Zebra
Okapi is a real African animal that is a cross between a giraffe and a zebra.
Have you ever seen an animal that looked like it was made from parts of two other animals? That’s not as creepy as it sounds! There really is a rainforest animal, known as the okapi (Oh-COP-ee), that looks like it came from two different animals, the giraffe and the zebra.

The okapi resembles a giraffe because he has a long neck and a head shaped like the giraffe’s, with the same large, upright ears. The males even have two small horns in the middle of their foreheads. They have longer front legs than back ones, and both legs move together on each side of the body when they walk, instead of each leg moving separately. Okapis are not as tall as their giraffe cousins, but they can stretch their necks far enough to reach branches 10 feet above the ground.

The okapi’s hindquarters and all four legs have brown and white stripes, much like the zebra. These stripes act as camouflage in the forest, and make the okapis hard to see among all the trees and foliage. This camouflage protects them from the rainforest leopard, their main predator. The rainforest is a beautiful place, but it is also dangerous for the animals that have natural predators living in the same forest, so camouflage is a good thing to have.

Okapi are herbivores, which means they eat plant life, such as tree leaves, buds, grass, ferns, and fruit. (That doesn’t sound as good as pizza and ice cream, does it?) Their tongues are dark purple, 14 to 18 inches long, long enough to clean their eyes and ears! Would you want a tongue that long?.

The only natural habitat in the word for the okapi is the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in the Ituri Rainforest in Central Africa. The okapi were not discovered there until the year 1900. While this may seem like a long time ago, it was actually the last large mammal to be discovered. Since then, new animals have been discovered all over the world, but none have been large mammals like the okapi. Even today, many people have never heard of this unusual creature.
