      That's because they're not part of that family. They're the only living relative of giraffes.

    The okapi, the unicorn of Africa
    I go back to your ancestors
    his unalterable past
    Until reaching this present
    Her figure there is no doubt
    It doesn't change, it's the same
    is a survivor
    of a lost time
    In which many animals lost their lives
    But the okapi
    as if it rose from the ashes
    not extinct
    like the old dinosaurs
    It's a living fossil
    He is present and impassive
    wading through the threats
    Surviving the furtive and heartless
    What would end his life
    This beautiful and large animal
    has not disappeared
    It's hidden in the jungle
    blends in with the environment
    plus it's quiet
    doesn't move a leaf
    How will they see and hear
    But someone would say
    So how do we know it exists?
    well from time to time
    go out to see what happens
    out of his hiding place because he is nice. And friendly
    He wants to surround himself with people who are also friendly.
    His appearance is exotic
    That is why it is a threatened animal
    it's all brown
    Except scratching on legs and buttocks
    It's amazing
    how does it look like
    To a striped zebra,
    It also looks like a giraffe
    That's why he's big and tall like her
    And with a long bluish tongue
    And since it is an unattainable corridor
    looks like a fast horse
    no one can reach it
    came out for you to see
    Enjoy your presence
    Her beauty and her particular appearance
    Of exotic animal and survivor
    It's almost magical that it survives
    Well, they want their skin
    What a pity, what a pain
    Those who hunt and those who kill
    Don't go out, we already know you,
    They do not
    hide your figure
    I want to watch her
    Keep watching
    To the unicorn of Africa
