I have learnt a surprising number of facts about okapis, the subject of Jessica's latest speech. Not only are they closely related to giraffes, their black tongues can be up to 45cm long, their coats are waterproofed with oil (just as well as they live in rainforests) and their babies are super cute.
Some other interesting facts came out aka Jessica:
- they eat up to 27kg of vegetarians a day
- they are found in the DemoRatic republic of Congo
- mommy okapis hide their babies in vegetarians
- baby okapics don't defendicate for up to 6 weeks after birth which helps keep them safe from predators (presumably while they are hidden in the vegetarians?)
Love it! My beautiful small girl enthusiastically telling us all about stripy-legs!
