EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, published in the 1949 edition of "Drawing at the Zoo," showcases the unique and intriguing okapi, a native mammal of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa. The okapi, which is most closely related to the giraffe, is depicted in this image as it gracefully chews leaves from a tree branch. The okapi's distinctive striped pattern, which is more apparent on its hindquarters, is on full display in this illustration. The okapi was first discovered by European explorers in 1901 and was initially believed to be a hybrid between a zebra and a giraffe due to its striped pattern. However, it was later determined that the okapi was a distinct species. This drawing provides a historical glimpse into the early days of okapi discovery and documentation. The okapi is a forest-dwelling animal and is rarely seen in the wild due to its elusive nature. It is primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruits. The okapi's long, prehensile tongue allows it to reach high branches to access foliage, as seen in this illustration. This beautiful drawing not only showcases the okapi's unique features but also highlights the artist's skill in capturing the animal's grace and elegance. The use of shading and attention to detail adds depth and texture to the illustration, making it a true work of art. Overall, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the okapi and the early days of its discovery and documentation.
