Okapia johnstoni
Hidden in the shadows of the African rainforest lives a shy relative of the giraffe called the okapi. Like the giraffe, the okapi uses its long, prehensile tongue to pluck leaves and buds from trees. The foot-long tongue also allows the okapi to lick and clean it own eyelids and ears.
