okapi's habitat

In the wild, okapis live in the Ituri Rain Forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa. The Okapi Wildlife Reserve is there. It takes up 20% of the Ituri Rain Forest. Other animals that live there are, elephants, primates, forest pigs, antelope, forest buffalo, and over 500 species of butterflies.

In captivity, they live in the San Diego Zoo, Dallas Zoo, Houston Zoo, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Denver Zoo, and Saint Louis Zoo.
