With a tongue that can extend up to 18 inches (45 cm), the okapi uses this remarkable adaptation to skillfully strip leaves, buds, and fruit from the understory trees of the Congo Basin. Their diet, rich in over 100 plant species, helps shape the forest’s biodiversity—an unsung but vital ecological role. Often mistaken as relatives of zebras due to their stripes, okapis are actually the only living relative of the giraffe. Yet unlike their towering cousins, these secretive animals are found sole

Our camera trap captured something extraordinary: a female okapi quietly navigating the forest under the cover of night—followed just five minutes later by a male. These elusive “forest giraffes” are famously secretive, making sightings like this incredibly special. Solitary by nature, okapi come together only briefly to mate. Moments like these offer a precious glimpse into their hidden world—and remind us just how much remains unknown about their lives in the dense Ituri Forest. #Okapi #IturiF

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

Over a year ago, I sang for an okapi and it was one of the most special moments of my life. After singing for him I found out that Okapis are in great danger of extinction 😢 That moment became the start of realizing I could use my videos to inspire conservation and hopefully help protect wildlife 🦓❤️‍🩹 🎛️ Mix by Robthedrums Merci Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon pour l’accueil 🫶 #animal #animals #okapi | Plumes
