Or is it Zeraffe…? The answer is neither, this animal is called an Okapi and it was first discovered in 1901. Although scientists say it is closely related to the giraffe, it looks like the result of a love story between a giraffe and a zebra. The Okapi can only be found in the Ituri forests, north-east of Congo, in Africa.

    It’s an okapi. It’s not all that closely related to the zebra.

    Chill out guys, he’s joking. It does look zebra-like, though. Zebras are my favorite animal. :)

    At the OKC Zoo they will tell you that the Okapi is a forest giraffe. They do not, however, tell you if they are delicious.
