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 okapi also has a long, dark, prehensile tongue, just like a giraffeâs, to help it strip the buds and young leaves from the understory brush of its rain forest home. Okapis are hard to find in the wild. Their natural habitat is the Ituri Forest, a dense rain forest in central Africa.Okapis are very wary, and their highly developed hearing alerts them to run when they hear humans in the distance.he okapi also has a long, dark, prehensile tongue, just like a giraffeâs, to help it strip the buds and young leaves from the understory brush of its rain forest home.
