Is it possible to ride an okapi?

Question

Hi everyone.

I know the question may sound a bit odd, but here it is: is it possible for an adult male (who is about 6'1 tall and weighs about 175 lbs) to ride an okapi? I know an okapi is pretty much impossible to train as it remains a wild animal &ndash;I just want to know if this is technically possible.

Thank you for your time!

Answer

The okapi stands about 5 ft tall at the shoulder and has an average body length of about 8 ft. Its weight ranges from 440 to 770 lb. The okapi resembles the giraffe more than anything else. If anybody ever rode one, they did not write about it.
