Okapis are found only in the tropical forests of northeastern Zaire. They prefer altitudes between 500 and 1,000 m, although they may venture above 1,000 m in the eastern montane rainforests. One sighting occurred at 1,450 m on Mt. Hoyo, in the upper Ituri.
Female okapis are slightly taller than male okapis but weigh 55 to 110 pounds (25 to 50 kilograms) more. The okapiâs dark tongue is long enough to reach its eyes and ears. Onions are the okapisâ favorite treat at the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park.
