The Okapi Was Discovered in 1901. Now It's Slipping Off the Conservation Radar.
Western scientists announced the okapi's discovery in 1901, and the striped, giraffe-legged rainforest animal became a global sensation. Italian explorer Attilio Gatti named one 'Beautiful' after capturing it in a jungle pit trap in 1934, then watched it kick its way out of a makeshift stockade. More than 125 years on, the okapi has quietly fallen off the international conservation agenda, while a pocketknife brand keeps the name in circulation.
