📢 Spread the word. Most people have never even heard of an okapi! Share their story, teach your friends about them, and help the world fall in love with this incredible species.

💚 Support conservation. Donate to reputable organizations working to protect okapi and the forests they call home, like Okapi Conservation Project .

Ever heard of a ziraffelope? 👀 Part zebra, part giraffe, part antelope… just kidding! 😉 Meet the okapi, an animal so unique it looks like it was made by combining a few of our favorite species. But here’s the plot twist: okapis aren’t related to zebras or antelopes — they’re actually the closest living relatives of giraffes! 🦒

Native to the lush rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, these elusive animals are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and other human pressures.

Help us celebrate these incredible animals by sharing their story, supporting okapi conservation, and spreading a little okapi love today! 🤍

Did you know an okapi can use its tongue to clean its own eyes and ears? 👅👀

That incredible tongue isn’t just for show! An okapi’s long, flexible tongue is perfectly adapted for stripping leaves from branches in its native rainforest habitat in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 🌿

Ever wondered what an okapi sounds like? 👀🦓🦒

That little sound is called a chuff! Okapis use chuffs as a form of communication, including when greeting one another.

But here’s the really cool part: okapis also communicate using infrasonic sounds that are too low for human ears to hear! 🤯
