Toby is the perfect okapi of Subira With their velvet fur, long tongues and striped backends, okapis may look like they're made from leftover parts, but each of their characteristics plays a part in their wild habitats. 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

Recently captured by our camera traps deep in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, this footage shows an okapi moving freely through its undisturbed rainforest home—a testament to the power of conservation. Protecting these forests means protecting the okapi and countless other species that depend on them. | Okapi Conservation Project
