One of my favorite places to go is the Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, IL.  They have some really cool Okapis at this zoo, and a new baby was born there in 2006 (named Sauda).  If you'd like to learn more about Okapis please visit the Brookfield Zoo website.  Here's a link:

The Gilman International Conservation (GIC) runs the Okapi Conservation Project (OCP) in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.  The OCP was initiated in 1987 with the objective of eliciting support for the conservation of the wild okapi from zoological institutions managing okapi in zoos around the world.  Okapi ambassadors in zoos help instill awareness of the rapid destruction of rainforests and generate financial support for the preservation of okapi habitat in the Ituri Forest of the Congo River basin.  The OCP has significantly contributed to the establishment and security of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, one of the most biologically diverse areas in all of Africa.  You can visit their website at:

Wikipedia also has good general information about the Okapi:

Last year I saw Okapis at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida...
