Captured on Camera: Unicorn Okapi in the Wild
Wildlife researchers from the Zoological Society of London and the Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation have captured on camera – for the first time – a true unicorn: an okapi in the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Dr Noelle Kumpel, ZSL’s Bushmeat and Forests Conservation Program Manager, said: "To have captured the first-ever photographs of such a charismatic creature is amazing, and particularly special for ZSL given that the species was originally described here over a century ago.
"Okapi are very shy and rare animals, which is why conventional surveys only tend to record droppings and other signs of their presence."
