Welcome to our website! This whole site is dedicated to the
truly unique and interesting organism, the Okapia johnstoni,
more commonly known as the Okapi. Extensive research has been
done and we have compiled it to educate you on the Okapi. We
will cover several topics such as the Okapi’s taxonomic
classification, nutrition, form and function, conservation,
habitat and range, as well as some fun facts about it. We will
also include contact information just in case you need to reach
us with questions or concerns.
In our
taxonomic classification page we will go over the taxonomic
classification of the okapi and the reasons why it fits into
each classification. There will also be a phylogenetic tree
showing the okapi and some of its close relatives. In the
nutrition section we will cover the diet of the okapi as well as
some of its feeding habits. There are also some adaptations the
okapi has developed in regards to feeding and digestion. The
form and function section will go into more depth about the
okapis evolutionary advantages. The conservation section will
cover conservation efforts, specifically the Okapi Conservation
Project. Finally the habitat section will cover the Okapi’s
natural range and preferred habitat. The fun facts will cover
anything we find cool that just doesn’t fit in anywhere! I hope
you find our site informative and enjoyable.
