Did you know that okapi are territorial animals? This helps to explain why they are solitary. Okapi have multiple ways of marking their territory including a scent gland on each foot which releases a tar-like substance to indicate the area is theirs. Furthermore, they can also secrete urine to mark their territory, as can be seen from this footage from one of our camera traps. | Okapi Conservation Project

Have you ever seen an Okapi before? Although the okapi has striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe. In fact, the okapi and the giraffe are the only living members of the family Giraffidae. #WildlifeWednesday 🦒 🦓 | Science Channel
