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.
Elusive Creature of the Deep African Forest. Native to Central Africa, the Okapi is the lesser known relative of the widely popular Giraffe. Interestingly, although this elusive animal superficially resembles the body structure of wild horses and appearance of zebras, it belongs to the family of Giraffes.
