The Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is a mammal native to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Resembling a horse with zebra-like stripes on its hind legs, it's more closely related to giraffes. Okapis have a distinctive appearance with long necks and large, rounded ears. They inhabit dense rainforests and are known for their elusive nature. Conservation efforts are crucial as their populations face threats from habitat loss and poaching.
