Wow the Okapi is an amazing animal. The males having ‘respect’ toward the females is just gorgeous.

yes, I will always remember it as a period of high drama….to be so close to the forest, to spend so much time alone following animals, to know that so much was happening all around us and that we would only get glimpses, and with each glimpse be utterly amazed. T

Ground-breaking study. Legendary.

One thing that stood out for me in the Alan Root’s film was how docile the Okapi were in the pitfall traps. Remarkably gentle.

That sequence of the one Okapi emerging from the trap, stopping and looking right back into Alan’s (Bruce’s?) camera is priceless. Great animals.

And the chimps eating the Okapi carcass. Wow.
