㺢㹢狓拼音:huō jiā pī,注音:ㄏㄨㄛ ㄐㄧㄚ ㄆㄧ,学名:Okapia johnstoni),是一种一直到1901年才在非洲扎伊尔森林发现的大型哺乳动物,又称作欧卡皮鹿。它是长颈鹿科中的一种偶蹄动物。它与长颈鹿有亲缘关系,是长颈鹿唯一的尚未灭绝的近亲。不过第一眼上它看上去更像一匹马,由于它的后部有黑白交替的条纹,它看上去非常像一匹斑马。过去曾经有人以为狓是长颈鹿与斑马交配产生的,但实际上它与斑马不是近亲。生物学家相信长颈鹿的祖先在脖子变长之前其模样跟狓相差不远。狓的分布地区是非洲中部刚果民主共和国东北的雨林。

The okapi /ˈkɑːp/ (Okapia johnstoni), is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe. The okapi and the giraffe are the only living members of the family Giraffidae. The okapi stands about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall at the shoulder and has an average body length of about 2.5 m (8.2 ft). Its weight ranges from 200 to 350 kg (440 to 770 lb). It has a long neck, and large, flexible ears. Its coat is a chocolate to reddish brown, much in contrast with the white horizontal stripes and rings on the legs and white ankles. Male okapis have short, hair-covered horns called ossicones, less than 15 cm (5.9 in) in length. Females possess hair whorls, and ossicones are absent.
