Don’t call me a Zebra!

They might look like a zebra, but okapis are actually part of the giraffe family! These zebra-like stripes help them blend into the vegetation and dead leaves found in the forests of Congo where they live!

  1. Hey Rangers,

    Whoah. o_O Lot’s of comments.
    I guess I’ll just, well, answer them.

    @ Lizzyy,

    Yes – I have a habit of writing about animals in the ‘Wild’ kingdom (emphasis on wild) acting like a sophisticated civilization. Not saying that animals aren’t intelligent, but they’re wild for a reason, so I can see your confusion. Bahati is a Serval, just like Sammy (the Earthranger’s ambassador)
    I realised that the plot was very, erm, well – to be honest, in my opinion, not very well planned out and confusing. It was just for fun anyway. I thought that everyone had forgotten about my little story here. The royal blood meant that they were the kings and queens of Arica and the animal kindgom, like the Lion being the king of the jungle and so on.
    Well, thanks for the compliments and sorry it was so unorganized. Not my best work, I admit.
    The Bahati story was a little too unorganized to continue, that is why I stopped. Although, I would be happy to write another story… just for the enjoyment of it.
    As for the website part, I so not have a website so I’m not sure what you mean.
    Thanks so much – hope you enjoy the next stoy I write, wherever it may be.

    @ NICHOLSON

  3. I am an animal and plant lover,When I grow up I want to be a marine biologist,or a person who studies plants,I can’t decide but I think MARINE BIOLOGIST more than plant studier…
