This is an Okapi at Chester Zoo in North-West England. It is a close relative of The Giraffe (like giraffes, they have very long, blue tongues). Although I think it looks like a cross between a Giraffe, a Horse and a Zebra. That must have been one heck of a wild night!!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi♥
The rich colour of this Okapi against the pale green background really stands out very well. These animals never fail to amaze me with their odd markings. Great capture you have here. Well done!

A strange mix indeed, You can really see the mix between the zebra and horses. Your right it must have been one heck of a night lol.

Definitely the best shot of an okapi I've seen on Caedes. Super sharp and colorful. Thanks for sharing.

Ownership of land is, at best, a useful human fiction.
I though you did a manip at first. Interesting looking animal. Wonderful shot.

Wowzie..what a mixed up animal....confusing. It looks like it got the leftovers from some others. But I sure like seeing this, I had never seen one and am glad you posted this photo.V

May your walls know joy; May every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility.
They're great these things. Aren't they really rare in the wild - I think there was a piece somewhere earlier this week about the first picture of one in its native habitat because they're so secretive. This is a good one, it stands out against that background really well.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
Very good picture of the okapi too. Seeing a live one was the highlight of my visit to the zoo. I have been fascinated by these creatures since I was a child. It was worth coming the whole way from Malta.

I agree with that rough night statement. It is an odd colorful animal. Great post though. Very colorful. I seen it in the vb and rated it high.
