The Okapis markings seem very bold to us, which give the Okapi great camouflage when hiding in the partial sunlight that filters through the Dense rain-forest's, where Okapis live!The Okapis skin color is a dark brown velvety like fur color! The okapis stripes are white and are horizontal on the rear and the legs of the Okapi!. Male Okapis have two skin covered horns that are called, ( Cossicones) on the forehead!Okapis have a long flexible back,their back is (12 - 14 inches) long and ( 30 - 36 cm) long! Okapis have pretty rarely large ears!

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
