Zebra + Horse + Giraffe = Zoraffe?

Okapi

Actually, it is called an Okapi, and isn’t a crossbread at all (but certainly looks like one). The Okapi is a rather anti-social member of the giraffe family that only lives in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Okapi scholars believe it evolved stripes on its legs as a mechanism for young Okapi to more easily follow their mothers through the dense jungle. Link [Wikipedia]

    I have to admit once I saw this Okapi under Zorse I was going to stop coming to this site.
