Is it a Zebra-Giraffe or a Giraffe-Zebra?

GrrlScientist displays one of her favorite animals -- the Okapi.

Personally I think it looks suspiciously similar to the result of a profane, drunken hookup between a zebra and a giraffe. I wonder who rolled over only to be shocked that morning -- my guess is the zebra...

How would that even work? I would think zebra girl, giraffe boy, but I am willing to hear alternative views on the subject. Like all drunken hookups, the issue of mechanics is usually secondary.

The accidental product of a study abroad program in Italy, Eclyse is a visually fascinating example of mixed genetic material. Eclyse's mother was a zebra living at a German safari park. When she was sent on loan to Italy, she was allowed to roam free in an enclosure with both horses and zebras.

wait a second .. even though zebras are widely known to be zealous party animals, everyone knows that giraffes don't drink!
