Okapi: Africa’s Unicorn

This Amazing Wildlife episode is all about a beautiful and unusual mammal found only in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo… the Okapi! Hosts Rick and Ebone find out how this species, which is the only living relative of the giraffe, manages to blend in with surroundings in their native habitat and explore their different vocalizations and social dynamic. Later, senior wildlife specialist Jennifer Chapman stops by the show to explain the Okapi Species Survival Plan and how to monitor an Okapi pregnancy to help maintain its genetic diversity.
