    Have you ever heard of a giraffe?? Well today you're about to find out what the forest giraffe is! It's really called the Giraffe okapi zebra. But it's better known as the forest giraffe, or the Congolese giraffe , or the zebra giraffe. A lot isn't it! The forest giraffe is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.
