The most underrated animal on the planet!
I have loved Okapis since I was a kid and we “adopted” one at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. I have always felt this was one of the most under-appreciated animals in the world. Just a beautiful, peaceful animal.

I was just about to create a new subreddit. But here you are!
I have LOVED the okapi since I was a toddler. (And this is coming from a family who can't tell the difference between a dog and a cat). So I wanted to ask you okapi lovers a few questions
- Are you sick and tired when people try asking if the okapi is a zebra/giraffe hybrid? Last time I checked, they can't mix!
- Does anyone know of any zoos that host okapis? Besides Dallas, OKC, Lowry Park, and DisneyWorld? (Or better yet, have okapis you can feed like at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch)
- Do you love okapis more than giraffes?
- Are you tired of people saying the okapi is a type of zebra! ITS NOT. THAT"S A QUAGGA
