This creature stands approximately 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder, with a length of 1.5 meters, and has a robust body covered in short, coarse fur that transitions from deep chestnut brown to a striking black along its legs. Its large, expressive eyes are framed by prominent, rounded ears, giving it excellent hearing, while its elongated tongue, adapted for grasping foliage, is reminiscent of its Okapi ancestry. The Okabat exhibits a harmonious blend of features that make it a unique addition to any ecosystem.
