The beautiful and endangered okapi is shy, secretive, and elusive. They are found in the dense tropical rainforests of central Africa, and their reddish coat and zebra-like stripes help them disappear quickly in dense foliage. They are the closest living relative to giraffes. The L.A. Zoo is home to two okapi named Jackson and Opey. Jackson is curious and enjoys snacking on butternut squash. Opey is known for her gentle demeanor, and has had two calves over the years at the Zoo. While discovered

Toby is the perfect okapi of Subira With their velvet fur, long tongues and striped backends, okapis may look like they're made from leftover parts, but each of their characteristics plays a part in their wild habitats. The stripes camouflage them from predators, their oily fur keeps them dry in the rainforest and their long tongues help them reach the best leaves. | San Diego Zoo

In a dense forest with dappled light, it’s nearly impossible to see the elusive okapi! Its broken pattern of dark and light stripes helps it hide from predators. As herbivores, okapi feed on leaves, grasses, ferns, fruits and other understory plants. They use their long blue-black tongues, that can stretch up to 18 inches, to reach and grasp leaves. | Bronx Zoo

Vroom vroom 🏎️ The new okapi calf runs on 100% all-natural excitement. This striped booty cutie was walking 30 minutes after he was born and is brushing up his zoomie skills while mom keeps a watchful eye nearby. Little okapis take time to get coordinated which is why they kick up their heels and toss their heads as they explore their surroundings. #hoppyokapi #zoomies #babyokapi #sdzsafaripark | San Diego Zoo Safari Park

It’s World Okapi Day! Here at our Zoo, we care for two Okapis, Jabari and Kali. Okapis are often mistaken for being related to Zebras, but are actually relatives of Giraffes! Their long tongues resemble that of their relative. Above, Jabari shows off this resemblance!
