The Okapi

My animal choice is the okapi which lives in the forest floor. Okapi’s are herbivores. The okapi have tongues that are 12 - 14 inches long. I want to make the tongue longer, about 17 - 19 inches so they can reach higher trees. If most of the trees are low and the okapi finished the leaves they can reach higher trees with their longer tongue. They eat about 40-60 pounds a day so they need lots of leaves to eat.
