Although the okapi is currently listed as endangered there are programs in zoos across the world dedicated to protecting and breeding them.

I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.
I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Okapi! They’re an endangered, even-toed ungulate native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, most closely related to giraffes. They have long, prehensile tongues they use to pull leaves off of tall branches - they’re long enough that they can lick their own ears!
[ID: an illustration of an adult and a juvenile okapi. The adult is leaning its neck down to greet the young one, who is reaching up its neck. They are on a light green background with stylized grasses. End.]
