For sure...how interesting, I too have never heard of an Okapi. They must be some decendent of the zebra + ?? = Okapi It almost looks like a giraffe head. Maybe this was an animal experiment gone wrong? =)

It's the only living relative of the giraffe, not related the the zebra. Here's some more pics:
