The Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is found only in the tropical forests of northeastern Zaire. Okapis occur in the dense rainforests at middle elevations within their range. They frequent river banks and stream beds. The okapi has a form superficially resembling that of a horse. Average body length is 6-7 feet with the height at the shoulder 5 feet and weighing about 450-550 pounds. The neck is relatively long in comparison to that of other ruminants, and the ears are large and flexible. The body is chocolate-brown, with creamy white horizontal stripes on the legs and hindquarters and white stockings on the ankles. The okapi is the only living relative of the giraffe and was one of the last large mammals to be discovered in Africa
