📖 Read about me

The okapi is the giraffe's only living relative, hidden in the Congo rainforest, with zebra-striped legs, a horse-like body, and a giraffe's face. Its blue-black tongue is ~18 inches long — enough to lick its own eyes and ears and strip leaves. Science didn't confirm it existed until 1901.
