Medium Okapi

It took 7 plastic water bottles to create the Stuffed Okapi Mini EcoKins by Wild Republic, and while she is trying to save the planet in general by being eco-friendly, she is also trying to save her own kind, because this unique-looking mammal is on the endangered list. This animal is featured in our book Weird & Wacky Creatures 1!

Measuring approximately 8 inches, this plush okapi looks like a zebra, deer, and horse all rolled into one, although its only living relative is, in fact, the giraffe.

Made from a soft and strokable plush fabric, the Stuffed Okapi Mini EcoKins by Wild Republic has black and white stripey legs and a chestnut brown body, and is 100% eco-friendly, with soy-based ink, and even recycled paper hang tags.

Native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, these beautiful animals are normally extremely shy and will run from humans, but with the Stuffed Okapi Mini EcoKins by Wild Republic, you can have your very own elusive stuffed Okapi who won’t be shy at all.

Standing on all four stripey legs, she has a delightfully embroidered calf-like face that you will fall instantly in love with, and just like a mama okapi does with her newborn, you can build a cozy little home for your beautiful new arrival and you to share.
