5 Weird, Wild & Wonderful Facts About Okapi

You have to travel into Habitat Africa: The Forest here at Brookfield Zoo to see the okapi, an incredible creature that might resemble a zebra mixed with an antelope, but is actually most closely related to the giraffe. In the wild, you would have to travel into the dense jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo to find these enigmatic creatures. But that's just the beginning of the wild and wonderful facts about these animals.

A relative of a giraffe and is known as the forest giraffe!

[@BrookfieldZooChicago]

Correct!

[@annabravo2587]

One question are they a mix of animal?

[@BrookfieldZooChicago]

They sure look like they're a mix of giraffe, zebra, and horse, but they're not! They're their own species.

[@Billionairedude92]

They’re only found in one country, Congo 🇨🇩

[@clandestinechaos9009]

Wait did she just say that they do not poop for 60 days? This is the animal I want to reincarnate as!😅
