The 5-day-old baby okapi received its first neonatal exam and it was determined that the calf is a male. Send in your best name suggestions for this beautiful little one. ❤️ | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Our camera trap captured something extraordinary: a female okapi quietly navigating the forest under the cover of night—followed just five minutes later by a male. These elusive “forest giraffes” are famously secretive, making sightings like this incredibly special. Solitary by nature, okapi come together only briefly to mate. Moments like these offer a precious glimpse into their hidden world—and remind us just how much remains unknown about their lives in the dense Ituri Forest. #Okapi #IturiF
