Album Info:

Okapia johnstoni - Only officially discovered in 1901, this elusive forest-dweller has a short, dense, velvety coat and a long, black, prehensile tongue like its closest relative, the giraffe. The young use their mother’s unique pattern of stripes on her hind quarters to identify her. The main threat to okapi is the commercial bushmeat trade.
