The only place where one can find an okapi is in the forests of northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Their range is limited by high montane forests to the east, a swamp forest below 500 m to the west, savanna to the north and woodland to the south.
The horse-like okapi (Okapia johnstoni) , with its large ears and a relatively long neck, is also recognized by a long black tongue, used for plucking buds, leaves and branches from trees and shrubs. Males have hairy horns that reach 15 cm, and which are fused to the frontal bones â these are absent in females.
