Description


L’okapi (Okapia johnstoni), aussi connu sous le nom de Mondonga, est une espèce de mammifères ruminants de la même famille que la girafe, venant des forêts équatoriales de l'Afrique centrale. Bien que connu par les Pygmées, il est « découvert » en 1901 par Sir Harry Johnston à qui il doit son nom. C’est l'un des derniers grands mammifères à être observé scientifiquement sur la planète. Cet animal dont l’allure rappelle à la fois celle du zèbre et de la girafe vit exclusivement dans une petite région au nord-est de la République démocratique du Congo, la forêt tropicale de l’Ituri, où une réserve lui est spécialement dédiée. Son nom vernaculaire en lingala est mondonga Okapi (Okapia johnstoni), also known as Mondonga, is a species of ruminant mammals of the same family as the giraffe, coming from the equatorial forests of Central Africa. Although known to the Pygmies, it was "discovered" in 1901 by Sir Harry Johnston to whom it owes its name. It is one of the last large mammals to be scientifically observed on the planet. This animal, which looks like both a zebra and a giraffe, lives exclusively in a small region in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Ituri rainforest, where a reserve is specially dedicated to it. Its vernacular name in Lingala is mondonga.
