Bokapi
A hybrid of Bison + Okapi
The Bokapi is a remarkable hybrid creature that exhibits a robust and muscular body similar to that of a bison, combined with the long legs and striking coloration of an okapi.

The Bokapi possesses a broad head with large, expressive eyes and long, tufted ears, allowing it to be highly aware of its surroundings. Its powerful horns curl upwards, and its cloven hooves are well-adapted for traversing both grasslands and dense forests.
