Okapi

Okapia johnstoni

Classification

The okapi (; Okapia johnstoni), also known as the forest giraffe, and zebra giraffe, is an artiodactyl mammal that is endemic to the northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa. However, non-invasive genetic identification has suggested that a population has occurred south-west of the Congo River as well. It is the only species in the genus Okapia.
