Here are 4 playful ways to say that an okapi's stripes help it hide:
- The okapi wears stripey pajamas so it can sneak behind the trees.
- Its stripes are like a secret forest costume for a big game of hide-and-seek.
- Those stripy marks are nature's disguise that helps the okapi hide in the leaves.
- With stripes on its body, the okapi blends into the shadows — shh, it's hiding!
Why this works: the stripes break up the okapi's shape, so it’s harder for other animals to spot it among plants and shadows.
