Giraffidae
Giraffes and okapis are both found in sub-Saharan Africa in wooded savannas and open woodlands. The giraffe is the tallest land mammal. Male giraffes can be 16-18 feet tall and weigh up to 2,000 pounds. Females are usually a few feet shorter than the male. The okapi is found in rainforests in the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa. It was not discovered by scientists until 1900. It is 5 to 6.5 feet tall and has black-and-white striped legs and hindquarters, a dark brown body, large ears, and a long tail. The stripes on the okapi's legs help camouflage it in the rainforest.
