The Okapi is a very unique creature, it has both the characteristics of a Giraffe and a zebra. Over the years the Okapi has made many changes to help it adapt to the environment. One of the adaptations is the hooves have changed to make walking on the dry, grainy, sand/dirt less of a hassle. Another thing that has changed is the length of the tail to help swat the pesky bugs away from them. The biggest adaptation that they have came to is being a light tan color with white stripes to keep the heat off of them keeping them the coolest they could be. These characteristic changes have helped the Okapi survive and flourish in the every changing conditions of their habitats. The Okapi can accomplish anything.
