July 2018: Okapi

Okapi (Okapia johnstoni)

Throughout the month of July, FaunaFocus will feature the elusive forest giraffe, otherwise known as the okapi! This unusual animal is revered for its striking markings, especially the horizontal black and white stripes found on its legs. This hooved mammal is listed as “Endangered” by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
