In a dense forest with dappled light, it鈥檚 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

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
