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.
An okapi is a short-necked relative of the giraffe which looks much like a horse and has boldly striped legs like zebras (perhaps so the young ones can see their parents more â¦ easily). They have long tongues like giraffes. 23 people found this useful.
