The stripes camouflage them from predators, their oily fur keeps them dry in the rainforest and their long tongues help them reach the best leaves. | San Diego Zoo | Facebook

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
