Okapi: African Unicorns

Deep in the heart of Africa, in the dense tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), there lurks a very curious creature. With long legs and predominantly dark brown coat of short fur, Okapi look, at first glance, a bit like a horse. But a second look will reveal a somewhat deer-like face atop a relatively long, flexible neck, and, most strikingly, horizontal white stripes on its upper legs and rump. Help them to survive every time you shop #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife and be #Vegan.

Okapi Okapia johnstoni

The mysterious and enchanting Okapi, also known as the forest giraffe, roams the dense rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. With a large expressive eyes and ears, velvety dark brown coat adorned with striking white stripes and large – they captivate the imagination! These solitary creatures have a remarkable prehensile tongue for foraging and grooming. Okapi mothers use inaudible sounds to communicate with their young. Sadly these remarkable creatures are endangered and face severe threats from palm oil, mining and tobacco deforestation, hunting and human conflict. You can help protect them by making mindful palm oil free supermarket choices. #BoycottPalmOil and #Boycott4Wildlife to safeguard these beautiful animals.
