Thank you they aren't fucking hybrids

[dynamitexplodes]

[cismea]

It's an okapi

[h4s4t4n]

Some of these comments are fucking stupid. Okapi aren't "hybrid" animals.  They are fucking ancient. Have some respect, idiots.

[SexayLayD]

These are a natural occurrence in nature.

[camilo12347001]

This is an okapi it's own breed

[neodorkiss]

Its a mut!

[InKiSiDoR18]

No sabía de la existencia de este animal. Sino hasta que empeze a ver los animales que se han re-descubierto!

I didn't know about this animal... but I just found videos about rediscovered animals.

[DeathXbyXhotdog]

I wish the quagga zebra still existed.

[kbbels]

Disney's Animal Kingdom allows you to get a great look at these animals and many more on a jeep ride through a safari or range type setting. On the day we last visited there were students and professionals in the field studying many of the animals in the park . At least they have a more natural setting despite having humans driving through their homes all day. They are amazing to see up close.

[7466309change]

is a pair there to use to breed more so none are exstinct.?

[SuperLaLa559NiGgA]

They are a pure breed,for the last time.

[THESLICKNESSEDM]

[stephenblackent]

[Blakmajik78]

[jplautz215]

[mom12195]

The okapi (pronounced /oʊˈkɑːpiː/), Okapia johnstoni, is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the Ituri Rainforest, located in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Central Africa. Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of the zebra, it is most closely related to the giraffe.

[system7564]

looks like 3 animasls had a 3 way

[pandapenguin123]

u never new that exsits????? i did lol

[jmzenitram]

[bcount1]

Wow so wrong they are NOT a cross breed. I did a project on them for school. Sad how most people don't know what they are 8(

[neker45]

ITS A UNICORN!!!!

[stonedonkey1]

yah u reatard

[oldstock1607]

It is no relation to the Zebra whatsoever. But it's lower body coloring being like that of the Zebra is a powerful argument towards evolution. Clearly this camoflauge pattern appearing in more than one species of animal tells us that this pattern was perpetuated from its efficacy in preserving those who bore it.

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel see video trailer

[fudginny17]

[MegaHoboLover]

The Okapi is not a mix of anything, it is a pure animal. closely related to the giraffe.

[fiestyfilly7]

It's a cross between my favorite animals!! :D lol

[grinandferret]

Though Okapis appear to have equine (horse & zebra) traits, they are in fact classified under the family Giraffidae and are the only living relatives of the giraffe. To be specific, their classification is thus:

Class Mammalia, Order Artiodactyla (even-toed hooves), Family Giraffidae (giraffes and okapi), Genus Okapia, species johnstoni. I would like to say, however, that the footage was interesting and unusual with just how lively that okapi was, and the music complimented it very nicely.

[ottofamily80817]

@grinandferret haha, u thats rlly sciency.........google or colleage?

[lieghtning]

@ottofamily80817 haha, uh your spelling kinda sucks...can you say get a dictionary?

[tanolia]

whats the song

[SharinganBoy9899]

@tanolia my boat

[saulramirezjr]

they're not part any of those. they are more genetically alike with giraffes but that's it.

[dmcenery2]

Fillmed in San Diego? I used to go at least once a week to see them. Love the Okapi's!! They look like velvet plush up close. So gorgeous! They are a deep forest giraffe.

[stevostevie]

Manbearpig!

[LookMaNoBrains]

@stevostevie NO its BearpigMan!!!

[JackieFuckingChan]

I've seen one of these before.

[amywilson6]

i seen a real Okapi once,, there sooo beautiful :)

[oogburg]

Okapis are actually not part horse or zebra. It is the only living relative of the girrafe. Most people mistake the okapis family to be of the zebra or antelope. But that is very wrong, the only thing the Okapi has in common with those animals are that they are mammals. Those who think that i am wrong are just arguing with a juinior okapi expert. TRUST ME I KNOW MY OKAPIS!!!!!!

[69Kambash64]

@oogburg Well there's also the fact that Okapi, and Equines are also Ungulates. DUHHHHHHHH.

[Anim8or44]

HOW!!!

[orangegrace1998]

They're not crossbred they're a PUREBRED.

[kylienr]

Not a hybrid...*sigh*

Just a relative...but the other facts were pretty straight.

Yes they are rare, they tend to be solitary creatures and live alone rather in herds. Sticking a camera on it wouldn't do anything...

[SRNF]

they arent hybrids they are an a regular animal who developed the zebra strips for camo just as the zebras did.

[majorwarren]

weird but yet you see the different pats the abnormal neck size compared to a horse or zebra from the giraffe, the dark brown hair on its middle body from the horse, the strpde bottom from the zebra

[Gesquel80]

These is not its habitat. come back to Congo Jungle

[muhnur]

what the hell?? where is this okapi? it thought its extinct?!

[wahobajo]

its an okapi u nob end

[D0mIN1cAnO]

How are these Rare?! once we find one we should tag it and stick a camera on it to see where it goes we might find a heard of them

[houdrummer]

seen it before. we have one at the houston zoo

[sweetsugar133]

It is a real animal.

And recently discovered?

Whatever.

I've seen them alot.

Who hasn't seen this animal?

[subzero1333]

ive seen in on the lion king movie lol

[krazykizza]

giant Zebra!!!

[Louis69]

God nothing evolution is responsible for that guy. God pfft always with the fictional senior citizen in the sky sad that its 2009 and people still worship fictional things.

[crazyteensJHH]

Okapis are actually a type of forest giraffe. They are very strange looking animals.

[Alvymen]

beutiful animal!!!! thanks GOD!!

[killroy98]

actuly its part zebra,horse,donkey and they are very very very very rare to find in forest so if u ever see 1 they are RARE!!

[andreskizzo]

no, you're wrong, they are not a cross breed.

They are a pure breed and the closest relatives to the giraffe

[Joaaaoo]

@andreskizzo

in older books, i read, they didn't exist in congo, do you know when they found them again?

[KasirRham]

@andreskizzo thanks, the whole time I thought they were a hybrid species. I wonder if they are also related to Zebras.

[PullsN0Punches]

@KasirRham No, they're not related to zebras at all. They're giraffids.

[MrNoobreaper]

@andreskizzo WRONG

[fyourcouchnigga]

and a magic penis will appear and grant you 3 wishes! :D

[HariPuttar1]

???

[oOSilverSpillOo]

Okapi is a real animal...

[Reeseman2017]

Ugly as shit!

Lolz

[ysdpigy66]

It's called "My Sweet Angel" By Mary L. Travis.

[ysdpigy66]

I'm not sure I believe this. But since it's a vid, I kinda have to...

[pitypop250]

umm then maybye i was thinking of an animal tht looks pretty much the same as tht because there all dead....... because i was pretty sure it was the okapi

[ajschenkel]

I think you're thinking of the quagga. They were were a subspecies of zebra (NOT part horse/part zebra) that was only striped on the head, neck and sometimes legs. They went extinct in the late 1880's

[pitypop250]

they dont even live on this earth anymore they are exstinctined which means DEAD!! NO MORE!! they are all gone

they are part zebra and horse

[twistedger91]

saw two in Bristol zoo not so long ago

[DARCBProductions]

They are NOT extinct,

I saw one this summer in Magical Kingdom Disney World. It's called an Okapi. And yes, they are none to be more like giraffes because of there long tongues. But they are also told to be related to Zebras and horses.

[ajschenkel]

Giraffes/okapis and horses/zebras are in two different orders (artiodactyla vs. perissodactyla) . Okapis are much more closely related to the giraffe than any other animal and are not particularly closely related to zebras at all.

[wotsup1000]

not sure why it says its a cross bread it was thought to be extinct but then it was rediscovered and its called a okapis (i think lol and i just read the info at the stop why writing this SHHHHIIIITTTT o well)

[Trisscarr]

No they are related to giraffes, the stripes are so babies can recognise them and slightly for camoflague.

[caitlmac1]

are they endangered? You never hear about these animals.

[xxxKLLxxx]

so it's like giraffe humped zebra (it could hardly be otherwise)?

[coltonvalliantok]

yo retards its a real species not a cross bred animal you retards

[needles1987]

Aren't giraffes part of the cow family?

[ericsbabygirl2007]

I love Okapis! They've been my favorite animals since I was little!!

[CocoPebblers28]

THATS NOT TRUE!!!!

THEY ARE ONLY PART GIRAFFE AND HORSE I THINK

BUT NOT ZEBRA!!!

the stripes are how theyre babies recognize them

out of the herd!!!

[BrocWorst]

Never heard of one!

[qualqui]

AWESOME critter, Okapis, thanx for sharin' IrenaScott, rate this vid of yours 5 stars!

[2degucitas]

I love okapis. Kewl vid as always.
