MY OPINION PAGE

Dear Reader, I like the Okapi because it has very cool features and is related to the Giraffe, that is because I like the Giraffe in many ways! It surprised me that the Okapi doesn't have a long neck like the Giraffe, Because the Okapi is related to the Giraffe and not the Zebra! isn't that cool?

sincerely, Reese
