The only place where one can find an okapi is in the forests of northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Their range is limited by high montane forests to the east, a swamp forest below 500 m to the west, savanna to the north and woodland to the south.
Okapia. Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about the okapi is that it was not known to science until 1901. Its taxonomic name, Okapia johnstoni, honours both its native Central African name, and that of the man who first âdiscoveredâ it, Sir Harry Johnston, the British explorer, naturalist and colonial administrator.
