(8 years ago)Meghan Marle, the American actress, the future wife of Prince Harry, has been renamed by a London zoo that has named her after a newborn Ocap for honor of her marriage, which is scheduled for May 19, this year. Okapi Meghan was born on Saturday in Oni. [...]
Okapi Meghan was born on Saturday in Oni. Okapis are members of the giraffe family, even though they have no long neck, Reuters writes.
With its origin in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is evidently similar to that of zebras, since some whitelines are in their bodies.
We are very pleased with the mother and the newborn opap. Ony is very attentive, taking care of both and checking whether the mother of Ocap Meghan is careful with her”, said Gemma Metcalf, keeper of the zoo.
Occupys are listed as a endangered species on the International Nature Conservation Community Red List. Researchers, quoted by San Diego Zoo, estimate that some 25,000 opaits live in the wildlife. /Periscopi/
