[WatchYur6]

the okapi is my favorite animal :D the okapi is the only relative of the giraffe and is extremely rare :) in-fact they only live in a certain place. male okapi tend to have small stubby horns at maturely while females have none.

[oceanwaves96]

i love u okapi!!! lol i know everything about them:) they r my fav animal:P

[eevelutionsfan]

Is it true that some people call an okapi "unicorn of the forest"? Cause I heard it on a Disney jungle trail…

[ajtriggful]

@eevelutionsfan Yes, I think it was when European explorers first arrived that they made that 'connection' between European culture and African. The Okapi was considered almost legend in Africa, quite like the unicorn in Europe. So, it was dubbed the Unicorn of the forest :)

It's not a hybrid animal, it's a pure breed, not mixed with anything.

[DraketheWarDragon]

The forests of the republic of the congo in africa are the homes of Okapi's, RELATIVES OF THE STINKIN GIRAFFES, NOT SOME STUPID ZEBRA MIX

[TristanKA262]

We have some of these at our zoo. I was surprised when I saw it -.-

[luvstinks13]

There was probably a giraffe slut that slept with all the animals in the zoo!

[wanamaker0521]

[ribbons8278]

nope, an okapi is it's own animal... *SCHRECHES* OKAPIS = LOOOVE

[Mil3yfr3ak212]

It's crossed between a donkey,zebra,deer,antoloupe,ho­rse,and I think giraffe too.

[Tibbenham]

That's what it looks like. It's the closest relative of the giraffe, so related to deer also.

[NerdyNedry]

No,idiotic #25 I found this week,do some fuckin' reaserch its a natural animal.Your dad isn't.

[Mil3yfr3ak212]

okabi! REALLY RARE!

[WeeMiniMoose]

Thanks for posting such a great video of an Okapi. I love these guys! Oh, and jesusali, haha!

[rexlizardotube]

These are awesome creatures. First saw one in Dallas Zoo. Dallas has a great exhibit of Okapis.

[bigbadlove777]

it looks like a zebra fucked a giraffe

[jesusali]

The Romans called a giraffe "camelopard" because they thought a leopard fucked a camel.
