Have you ever seen an Okapi before? Although the okapi has striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe. In fact, the okapi and the giraffe are the only living members of the family Giraffidae. #WildlifeWednesday 🦒 🦓 | Science Channel

We collected this footage with one of our camera traps on Mount Mbia, just 1 km outside of Epulu where the Okapi Wildlife Reserve headquarters are located. Excellent footage of a wild okapi doing what they do naturally and peacefully. Don't forget about World Okapi Day on October 18! Visit www.worldokapiday.org for more. Enjoy :) | Okapi Conservation Project | Facebook
