Today's image-of-the-day is one of my favourite animals. The okapi is really a "forest giraffe" of sorts. So shy that it eluded science and was considered a myth until 1920, the okapi is in the unhappy predicament of inhabiting war/conflict-torn parts of Central Africa- specifically,the rainforest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It would be lovely if reservations for it could be created, but it seems impossible in the current climate.
This image is one of many in the forthcoming book "Weirdbeautiful"- for advance notice of the book's release, e mail neblik@yahoo.co.uk with "weirdbeautiful book" in the subject line.
