THE OKAPI

THE OKAPI

     Okapi are one of the rearrests animals that I ever seen and also have beautiful unique characteristics. From what I have found,  Okapi is an elusive herbivore that is found in a small pocket of tropical mountain forest in central Africa. Despite it's Deer-like appearance the Okapi is actually one of the last remaining ancestors of the Giraffe, which is the tallest animal on Earth. Along with having a relatively long neck compared to it's body size, the most striking feature of the Okapi is the horizontal stripes that are particularly visible on their behinds and give this animal an almost Zebra-like appearance. Okapi are also sky and secretive type of animal and seldom show themselves with people. The best thing about Okapi is they are not dangerous animals even though they are so unique. Which is mean we can come near to them but they are not easy to be close.Even though Okapi a shy and secretive animals but they have their owns way to protect themselves from predators. Okapi use its long neck as a tool to both defend itself and its territory. As we know, Okapi is actually one of the last remaining ancestors of the Giraffe, which is the tallest animal on Earth but look alike deer.  Okapi also has a red-brown collared coat of fur with horizontal, white striped markings that are found on their hind quarters and at the tops of their legs, and provide the Okapi with excellent camouflage in the dense jungle. Okapi also have their own protector by easily keeping away from any threat.

                When it comes to its habitat Okapi only can be found in found in the dense tropical rainforests of north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo generally at an altitude that can vary between 500 and 1,000 meters, although the majority of individuals are thought to inhabit areas at roughly 800 meters above sea level.The Okapi appearance are really unique because of the colour and also the fur, they are to expose with the predators and also unlicensed  hunter, I do really terrified  and feel unsafe for my lovely Okapi .This is  because of they can be one from extinct animals in the world and we might facing with losing of these beautiful creature and at that time we already lost everything.For me this lovely creature is really unique because they look like a deer but their size are ridiculously different and the size are absolutely like a gynaecological it could not be found easier in any where.
