In a dense forest with dappled light, it’s nearly impossible to see the elusive okapi! Its broken pattern of dark and light stripes helps it hide from predators. As herbivores, okapi feed on leaves, grasses, ferns, fruits and other understory plants. They use their long blue-black tongues, that can stretch up to 18 inches, to reach and grasp leaves. | Bronx Zoo

Toby is the perfect okapi of Subira With their velvet fur, long tongues and striped backends, okapis may look like they're made from leftover parts, but each of their characteristics plays a part in their wild habitats. The stripes camouflage them from predators, their oily fur keeps them dry in the rainforest and their long tongues help them reach the best leaves. | San Diego Zoo
