Toby is the perfect okapi of Subira With their velvet fur, long tongues and striped backends, okapis may look like they're made from leftover parts, but each of their characteristics plays a part in their wild habitats. The stripes camouflage them from predators, their oily fur keeps them dry in the rainforest and their long tongues help them reach the best leaves. | San Diego Zoo

Just give him a minute – he’s working to be camera ready for his #WorldOkapiDay photo shoot. 😉😜 Okapis are endangered…and they’re found only in the deep forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. First discovered by western scientist in the early 1900s, these incredible creatures are still pretty mysterious!

The beautiful and endangered okapi is shy, secretive, and elusive. They are found in the dense tropical rainforests of central Africa, and their reddish coat and zebra-like stripes help them disappear quickly in dense foliage. They are the closest living relative to giraffes. The L.A. Zoo is home to two okapi named Jackson and Opey. Jackson is curious and enjoys snacking on butternut squash. Opey is known for her gentle demeanor, and has had two calves over the years at the Zoo. While discovered

Today we celebrate World Okapi Day! Tusk is proud to support the Okapi Conservation Project. The okapi, also known as the “forest giraffe”, is one of the oldest mammals on Earth. Okapi are recognised by their striped coat which helps them to blend in with the light shafts produced as the sun pierces the rainforest canopy! The project also works with the local community through its agroforestry programme in the the Okapi Wildlife Reserve (OWR), which occupies part of the Ituri Forest in north-eas

Today is World Giraffe Day — a chance to recognize not only the giraffe, the tallest land animal, but also its lesser-known relative, the okapi. These two species share a direct evolutionary link and unique biological traits, despite living in very different habitats. Understanding what connects them helps us protect them both. | Okapi Conservation Project

Happy World Okapi Day! 🎉🌍 Today we’re celebrating the amazing okapi, one of the most unique and rare animals here at our Zoo! Despite their zebra-like stripes, okapis are actually more closely related to giraffes. You can spot the family resemblance by the ossicones on their heads - just like giraffes! 🦒 These small, skin-covered horn-like structures are a telltale sign of their shared lineage. Okapis are true masters of disguise in the forests of Central Africa, using their striped legs to b

On August 9th, World Indigenous Peoples Day, The Mbuti Pygmies and OCP came together to celebrate. From the Mbuti camp through Epulu, 200 Mbuti sang songs and completed their traditional dances. The Mbuti's dances often imitate the behaviors of the forest's animals, like the okapi, to invoke their spirits. | Okapi Conservation Project

It’s World Okapi Day! Here at our Zoo, we care for two Okapis, Jabari and Kali. Okapis are often mistaken for being related to Zebras, but are actually relatives of Giraffes! Their long tongues resemble that of their relative. Above, Jabari shows off this resemblance! On your next Zoo adventure, don’t miss our Okapis, located just outside of African Grasslands! #OmahaZoo #VisitOmaha #WorldOkapiDay #Okapi | Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

It’s the weekend! Celebrate with some okapi cuteness, brought to you by Toby and Sylvester. 🤩 - These smart boys are target trained! Target training helps our okapis learn important behaviors, like stepping onto a scale, getting in place for blood draws, and more—making it easier for their keepers to provide the best care and monitor their health every day! #memphiszoo #okapi #boop #cute #smart #love #animals #okapis | Memphis Zoo
