Okapi are strange animals that look like a combination of a giraffe and a zebra. They live in the jungle of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where it's very hot and predators, such as leopards, are always lurking. To stay alive, okapi have a three key adaptations.

they have scent-glands on their feet to mark their territory

they have infrasonic calls, which allows them to communicate with their calves without predators hearing their call.

they have 14-18 inch-long tongues, which can be used to wash their eyes and ears.

They are nearly horse sized about 5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing about 450-750 pounds.
