Did you know that the okapi is actually the only living relative of the giraffe? The okapi has a long, black tongue that can be up to 18 inches long! The tongue is used to reach leaves on trees as part of its 45 to 60 pounds of food daily! Our stuffed okapi from Aurora is a great recreation of this native African rainforest mammal. Measuring 12 inches in height, this stuffed okapi has brown fur with white and black striped legs. The the black hooves and striped face add more detail to this plush animal. It has brown colored lock washer eyes for safety and durability. Just like all of Aurora's quality stuffed animals, this plush okapi is made from high quality, all new kid-safe man made materials and meets or exceeds all U.S. and European safety standards. Surface washable; for ages 3 and up.
