This is so beautiful and so cute. The thing with their tongues is that they are long enough to clean their own ear, to grab food and water as well. It's so cool!
What a sweet baby! I love them! I remember bugging my parents until they took me to see the Okapi in San Diego. I was a horrid pest until we went. They are very shy, gentle creatures like the giraffes.
Nice to see that so many species (once thought to be extinct) are being rediscovered like the pink headed duck, the barbary lion, the okapi and many more ... (^_^)
I just read abour the Okapi conservation center in Congo Africa attacked by poachers last year, killing 6 people and 14 Okapi. Zoos are necessary, unfortunately. We would not have many of the animals in the world today if not for the breeding programs at the zoos. The Los Angeles zoo is expecting an Okapi calf this fall, I can't wait.
vnninjas, youve got a soft heart for animals, but thats great too! but keeping them in zoos may be one of the last chances them, and the public to see them have.
korlum chukhu They could be listed as thought to not exist/be mystical as they haven't been known long by science terms. According to IUCN, they were never listed as extinct nor does the Okapi conservation project. They are extinct in specific areas they once occupied, but that's about it.
korlum chukhu It says they were thought to not exist -- it does not say they were thought to be extinct -- so that just proves my point lol Thanks, I guess?
Ty Cord Surprisingly, they're more closely related to giraffes than any other animal. Their head shape, neck structure, and long tongue more resemble a giraffe. They're the only living relatives to giraffes today.
it is real beautiful animal n m really happy tht it has been saved from extinction...............but i hve strange feeling after seeing it tht wen a zebra, jiraffe, n ass sleeps together an Okapi is born lol

The world needs more Okapi and more giraffe! I am glad zoos are breeding them where they can be safe from poachers and where they are cared for.
OMG CUTEST THING I EVER SAW!!! :D
i thought it was a zebra, horse, and mouse because of the ears lol
I'm getting hungry while watching this.
Nice socks ^ ^
Merci pour la protection de notre resources.
Amazing!!!
Precioso!
Okapi and giraffe both have prehensile tongues, they reach for things with their tongues., mostly food or water.
So cute. X3
Its gerat that their still alive today! :) ;)
(Really loud scream) Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE OKAPIS! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE ANIMAL!!!!!!
I love it when they kiss their mommies.
they are cool because there body type is prehistoric, which means they have large stocky bodies with a huntched back.
qpwillie, every animal has a chance, and i too hope they make it!
I'm glad they're breeding. Maybe they can be saved after all.
its like a zebra and a giraffe got it onNnnnNnNn! lol but seriously awesome creature! =)
it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!!!
wow i love them f'''ing okapi
Awww!
What a beautiful little animal. Wish I was wealthy enough to have a large tract of land where they could breed and live unmolested.

They nevever almost got extinct , we havent seen them so we called them extinct until someone saw some .
They are listed ad threatened and have a population between 10,000 and 15,000... Still worn saving but by no means close to extinction.
@jescoool okapi is the closest relative to giraffes! It was thought extinct...
They're more related to giraffes so that explains the long legs.
The okapi is a girl/female...just to let you know.
Calf 1:40 mwama looka mah tongueeeeee :P
It's facee, with it's tongue stickingg outt :3
Yknow it's one of two species in its family okapi and giraffe
time for me to get my pokeball out
yep! TRYCLOPS1, they are also the last known sivetheirium, those are in the giraffe family
That is coolest looking animal its a shame there are so rare
I WANT ONE >:P
how come the 2 comments below me are almost identical O.o what sort of dark magic is this!
WHERES THE REST OF YA , looks like it is missing half its body XD
no comment.. I'm against zoos cause they keep animals trap but, I think it's actualy necessary for the specie conservation so..
Next is sasquatch and Nessy
they look like my greyhound...
I love okapis they are achaly in the family of cow, giraffe,horse,zebra,springbock i first lerne them in washintonDC very beautyful right
Normally horses and donkeys and other things have much skinnier legs!
Kian Lawley brought me hrre
And they thought okapi was extinct
Since when? The Okapi was never thought to be extinct by what I know. They are endangered though . . .
