	Okapi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is an unusual mammal of the Ituri Rainforest in central Africa.
		From this skull, the okapi was correctly classified as a relative of the giraffe; in 1902, the species was formally recognized as Okapia johnstoni.
		The species name okapia derives from the native name o'api, while the species epithet (johnstoni) is in recognition of the explorer Sir Harry Johnston, who organized the expedition that first acquired an okapi specimen for science from the Ituri Forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

	Okapia
		The Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is one of the two remaining species of family Giraffidae, the second being the Giraffe.
		It is native to the rain forests situated in the north east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was known only to the local people until 1901; this obscurity led the Society for Cryptozoology to adopt it as an emblem.
		The species epithet (johnstoni) is in recognition of the explorer Sir Harry Johnston, who organized the expedition that first acquired an Okapi specimen for science from Zaire's Ituri Forest.

		Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about the okapi is that it was not known to science until 1901 (4).
		Its taxonomic name, Okapia johnstoni, honours both its native Central African name (5), and that of the man who first ‘discovered' it, Sir Harry Johnston, the British explorer, naturalist and colonial administrator (4).
		The native pygmies of Central Africa had known of this animal's existence for generations, thinking it was a type of horse, which was how they described it to Sir Henry Morton Stanley (of ‘Dr. Livingstone, I presume' fame) (4).
