Odee the Okapi – who’s voiced by non-binary actor Ezra Menas – made their debut in the series’ Pride episode titled, Whatever Floats Your Float.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Menas opened up about the role, stating: “If I would have seen this when I was a kid, I don’t even know what I would’ve done.” They continued: “This kind of acceptance and love and celebration, I think, is the biggest takeaway from this episode.
It’s just a beautiful thing. Makes me cry.” In the Pride-themed episode, the characters have been tasked with setting up the Annual Pride Parade.
As the animals prepare for the special day, Marty the Zebra goes on a mission to help find Odee a parade float that fits their identity.
