That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Okapi". Both the okapi and the giraffe belong to the Giraffidae family, and share similar features such as their long necks and distinctive coat patterns. The two species diverged from a common ancestor around 11-12 million years ago. Despite their physical differences, genetic studies have confirmed their close evolutionary relationship.
