  • i saw one of those freaks at the ATL zoo

  • This is my favorite animal ever.

  • wat the hell is that??????????????

  • eh di okapi.... bobo ka ba o tanga....

    peace.... ahahahahahaha

  • Incredible. I was baffled when I first seen this creature on msnbc news today, and I immediatley wondered..why didn't I ever learn about this thing? so i did some research & discovered that Okapi's weren't discovered by europeans till' 1901. they supposedly live in the congo & were kept secret by a local tribe. BULLSHIT!! i doubt it. this is obviosly a hybrid animal resulting from human experimentation.

  • the reason you didnt know is you ignored the truth, the way people ignor the bible...

    in the 50's they finaly got movie footage of the animal, it was learned of early in the 20th century but not actualy filmed till the 50's and it made world news...

  • no it's not

  • No, its not a hybrid. What animals could you cross in the congo to form a "hybrid" like that? There is nothing within the area that is genetically related enough. This creature is the only living relative of the Giraffe and though not discovered till early 1900's, local stories about these creatures go back.

  • They are the most beautiful relatives of the horse family. I would love to see one of these beautiful animals in the wild...

  • Its in the giraffe family isn't it? Or is the giraffe in the horse family?

  • Horses,zebras, donkeys, okapis, are all relatives. Hippos and Rhinos are also cousins of the horse believe it or not.

  • Um, no not really. Horses, zebras, and donkeys are all odd-toed ungulates, and okapis are most definately not. Sure, they are related, but not that closely.

  • The Okapi is in the Giraffe grouping, not the horse grouping.

  • wtf!? giraffe bangs a zebra now? crazy..

  • no it's a real animal

  • an okapi is a forest giraffe

  • this thing and the Platypus would get along just great.

  • whoa lol

    i think it looks kind of cute ^^

  • i think its cute ^_^

  • it looks like a moose, giraffe, and a zebra all in one o_o

  • i thought it looked like a hybrid of a zebra/giraffe

  • im pretty sure this is a t-rex

  • it's an okapi ^o^

  • favorite animal? what are yall? twelve?

  • lol no im 24, and my fav animal is the tiger. its sexay

  • its gene splicing (then they grow it and let loose in the jungle making sure they have male and female, well u know what happens they multiply afterwards it all be normal we wouldnt even care about its wierd look it will just be another animal to hunt collect or to turn into priceless items or maybe vitamins) who knows..

  • This animal has been around a lot longer than gene splicing. It was not made by man.

  • a zebra, horse, and giraffe had a three some.

  • what kind of spack sees an animal like that and assumes its had dna altered yeah like all those minature dogs we see what a spanner

  • Yeah same with me Sunshine. Its one of my favorite animals

  • yeah... well not everyone is a tv freak right from a child sunshine... and i call it a midget giraffe

  • OMG! Some of you must be slow or somethng. I knew what an Okapi was since I was little. They were always my favourite animal.

  • Talvez seja o chupa cabra ou aquele animal de batatais que ninguem sabe o nome

  • Comment removed

  • i wonder what the okapi tastes like?

  • like horse

  • Actually no. no one fucked with DNA. I did a report about 4 years ago for my biology class on the okapi. I need to find that report. They are very interesting and docile creatures. They have the stripes of the zebra for camoflauge and their long necks, head, and tongue to reach thier food.

  • WTF, Wierd....i bet they Messed wit animal DNA and made that shit, and Dumped it to the jungle.

  • The okapi is an awsome animal and it should be respected as we dont really know the amount that there are in the planet and they are scarcely seen. I just have to say that the okapi is a cool animal!! lol

  • i actually think okapies are pretty. ive seen em at zoos before, and they are so prettiful.

  • i think a deer screwed a zebra, lol, its a jacked up animal, nobody cares what its name is, its fruity

  • It must be a cross between a quagga and a giraffe. That is very cool. Though quaggas are extinct at this point, which means okapis must be fairly old. Wonder how they managed to stay hidden for so long. They're cute!
