The Okapi can only be found in the Ituri forest in Zaire. It is the only mammal that can clean it's ears with its tongue. It is so elusive that it wasn't discovered until 1901.
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.
@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 can be found in the democratic rebublic congo too

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

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