Okapis are not endangered, they are threatened. They have been threatened since approximately the early 20th century.
Okapi are native to the Congo rainforest of Africa. Sir Harry H. Johnson got his first okapi specimen from the Ituri Forest in what is now the northeastern section of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Johnson discovered the okapi in 1901.
