This is an Okapi. I'm going to teach you what an Okapi is, /vp/, because it should be a Pokémon.

why is it what it is

Here's the rundown on what okapis are:
>They look like a mix between a horse, zebra and deer, but are closely related to none of them. It is the closest living relative to giraffes.
>They live deep in the mountain-forests of central Africa, where they forage over a hundred different types of plants, many of which are poisonous to many animals.
>They are notoriously solitary and elusive, and were not even discovered by the western world until 1901. They are shy and have great camoflauge.
>Their tongues are freakily long. They groom themselves with them and use them to grab leaves. They're prehensile.
>Their coats are like velvet and repel water, due to living in dense rainforests.
>They're larger than they look. Okapis can get over 5ft tall at the shoulders.
>They are the closest thing to a real-life unicorn you will ever see.
Their fur is dark red, so I feel like they might be Fire types. I am not someone who has been clamoring for this type combo at all, but I feel they'd probably be Grass/Fire.
Overall okapis are inherently weird and interesting creatures and I think they should be a Pokémon, much in the same vein as Girafarig. Maybe a distant ancestor.

According to the zodiacfags, girafarig is "close enough" to an okapi.
It'll just be an okapi of Zebstraika.
It's obviously the Fire horse of the Chinese mosaic.
>>25785329
I learned everything I needed to know about Okapi from MGS5
>>25785360
Literally Girafarig
>>25785542
no, girafarig is literally a giraffe
>>25785584
Giraffes don't have brains in their tails.

OKAPIPAKO WHEN

>They are the closest thing to a real-life unicorn you will ever see.
But it doesn't have a horn.
>>25785970
Males have ossicones
I meant in their manner of behavior anyway
>>25785675
Pokemon lied to me. Like that time it taught me moths were toxic.
I want more threads like this.
Its fur looks more Brown than Red, so maybe Ground/Grass? The downside is that it would be cramping on Torterra's style. Maybe it could be ground/fairy or ground/fire?
>>25786088
Could be ground. wouldn't mind grass/ground
>>25786419
>>25786088
They also have those white stripes so i kinda get a normal-type vibe from them. that would make it kinda an obvious parallel to girafarig.
wtf nature mixing a zebra and a horse
literally running out of ideas
>>25785329
>>25785354
Looks extremely fuckable
>>25786566
i love /vp/
>>25785354
>They are the closest thing to a real-life unicorn you will ever see.
Because unicorns have freakishly long tongues with velvet coats.
Unicorns are routinely described in myth as being super aggressive and violent, because they were literally rhinos.
>Their fur is dark red, so I feel like they might be Fire types
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>25785354
>Their tongues are freakily long. They groom themselves with them and use them to grab leaves. They're prehensile.
Now i don't want it as a Pokemon.
I want one to give me a blowjob now.
