What is the eaves?
OKAPI or Forest Giraffe is a large mammal originating in the deep forests of the Congo Democratic Republic. Shy and the long mysterious, Okapi came to the public eye only at the beginning of the 20th century, existing in the thousands of years before it became known most of the world. Although some experts consider the population of Wild Ekapi to be relatively stable, such as the International Union for the preservation of nature and natural resources (IUCN), the continued success of this rare animal largely depends on further efforts to protect forest habitats that call Home.
Okapi may appear at first glance to look like a zebra rather than a giraffe. Long legs, abdomen and rear limbs of the animal are white with black or dark brown strip, which is strongly similar to the coat of zebras. These stripes provide excellent camouflage in muted and nasty joy of African forests. The rest of the coat is usually a dark, velvet brown, the better to mix with shady areas.
The head and neck of the gutter is very similar to the head of the giraffe, albeit shorter. The forest animal has a long neck and tapering head and an extremely long, flexible tongue. Adult animals tend to dine on fruits and leaves of trees and are constantly going through during the day, often covering several kilometers of territory. Male adults have short corners, although women are somewhat larger and heavier. This adaptation can be because women serve as only young carers.
calves are generally born less than once a year, thanks to a long period of pregnancy 15 months. At birth, calves are about 3 feet (0.91 meters). Before reaching adulthood, they will generally be more than twice the size. Calculations are very vulnerable in the wild and have little natural defenses. Pattle animals usually hide their grandmother when fodder for food, and calves are equipped with a wide range of vocalization with which they can call their mothers if necessary. Like adultsAnimals very quiet, other characteristics shared with a giraffe.
After the discovery of the Western world at the beginning of the 20th century, the eaves became the popular import of animals for zoo and Menageries. Unfortunately, the methods of timely transport and limited knowledge of this shy creation led to extremely high mortality. In the 21st century, thanks to improved education and faster transport methods, many captured gutters live in zoos around the world. In order to ensure the preservation of species, many zoos have also introduced breeding programs to increase the number of captives and prevent the need for wild capture.
