World Okapi Day, celebrated on October 18, helps people learn about a special animal called the okapi. Okapis are like a mix between a zebra and a giraffe, with striped legs and long necks. They live in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This day teaches us how important it is to protect these unique animals and their home in the forest. By celebrating World Okapi Day, people around the world work together to help keep okapis safe and make sure they don't disappear, showing how much we care about all living creatures and their habitats.
