I will be talking about the Okapi. I will be talking about what kind of habitat they have and how they live in it plus how the habitat is being hurt. I will also be talking about what kinds of different food they can eat. Plus how they reproduce and what's been cutting down their reproduction. And how we are trying to save them. What the beautiful animal looks like and why people want to kill them. What impact we have on the animal. And finally, how many are left on this Earth, that's what I will be talking about.
