EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch depicts an okapi (Okapia johnstoni), a unique and intriguing mammal native to the dense Ituri Rainforest in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central Africa. The okapi, with its distinctive striped pattern, bears a striking resemblance to the zebra but is actually more closely related to the giraffe, being both a giraffid and an artiodactyl species. Historically, the existence of the okapi was unknown to the outside world until its discovery by European explorers in 1901. This elusive creature, which thrives in the lush, tropical rainforest, has continued to fascinate scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. In this image, we see the okapi in a moment of tranquility as it gracefully bends down to feed. The delicate lines and shading in the sketch by renowned British zoological artist Raymond Sheppard beautifully capture the okapi's natural elegance and the subtlety of its striped markings. The okapi's native habitat, the Ituri Rainforest, is a vital and rich ecosystem that is home to numerous other unique and endangered species. The preservation of this precious environment is essential to ensure the continued survival of the okapi and other fascinating creatures that call it home. This historical and evocative sketch serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique wildlife that inhabits it. The okapi, with its captivating stripes and gentle demeanor, remains a testament to the wonders of nature and the importance of continued exploration and discovery.
