Okapi!

I saw this picture of the Okapi and just had to share it. They are such cool looking animals. So cute :) Here are some fun facts:

Okapi live in the Ituri forest of central Africa

Many people think the okapi is related to the zebra because of its white stripes, but the okapi is actually related to the giraffe.

Although the okapi was long hunted by natives, western scientists did not know of their existence until 1901.

The stripes on their hindquarters and legs resemble the serrated patterns of some trees and plants, helping the animal blend into its environment
