Giraffe's striped cousin (5)

I believe the answer is:

okapi

(Other definitions for okapi that I've seen before include "Ruminant mammal of Africa" , "Ruminant related to the giraffe" , "Giraffe-related mammal" , "Type of giraffe" , "African ruminant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
