Okapi! They’re an endangered, even-toed ungulate native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, most closely related to giraffes. They have long, prehensile tongues they use to pull leaves off of tall branches - they’re long enough that they can lick their own ears!

[ID: an illustration of an adult and a juvenile okapi. The adult is leaning its neck down to greet the young one, who is reaching up its neck. They are on a light green background with stylized grasses. End.]

Okapis are underrated...

Okapis are underrated to the point that underrated and making people unaware of how extremely dangerous these precious creatures are. Although I don't know what God serves Okapis because Epona works with horses and equines and Okapis are actually related to giraffes and therefore not Equines.

Also, Okapis don't come from when a giraffe and Zebra love each other very much and have a baby together, that's ridiculous!

Also, Mo was born from Disney World(why the ass photo though? That's an Okapi! Not a Donkey!)

Fun Fact: Okapis are from the Congos and live in a rainforest near rivers. You know what Cryptid lives in the river of the Congos? The Mokele Mbembe, Africa's answer to the Scottish Loch Ness Monster. While Nessie is more of a levi stuck in The Loch Ness, The Mokele Mbembe has been described as a Sauropod Dinosaur. So little or big feet than fins. You'll probably find more Okapis than lost world dinosaurs though. But please save the Okapis before they end up the same fate as the dinosaurs.
