Okapi

I think that these are the most beautiful animal. I'm going to draw one. For now you can watch one for yourself if you've never seen one. They're related to the giraffe and they live elusive in the forests of the Congo in Africa. Their habitat is being threaten by poaching and deforestation especially in the Ituri Forest "Mambasa". So their fate in the wild is uncertain.
