For Okapikpr: Other than El Jewar, Miliki, Sefini, Karatasi, and Damisi do you know of any other okapi that have lived in Columbus?

Columbus Zoo's new Okapi calf born to El Jawar and Miliki is a male. And a calf was also recently born at the Dallas Zoo to Niko and Manala. Manala is the only other calf born at the Columbus Zoo to El Jawar and Sefini.

Okapikpr: Are there any other females that you know of that are pregnant in the US. I'm also curious as to what the maximum okapi capacity of the US is and how many births needed to occur each year to sustain the population, if it needs sustained at all.

Bronx, White Oak, Brookfield, Disney all have pregnant females.
The maximum capacity for okapi in the US may well be just over 100 and maybe more like 120. I can theoretically hold 5 more animals at White Oak. The population is targeted to reach 200 and there are still several zoos wishing to join the SSP (Memphis, Little Rock, Charles Paddock, Virginia, North Carolina, Jacksonville, etc). Okapi dont live that long (15-20 yrs) and definitely need a sustaining number of births to maintain such a population. Its really not my place to speculate on these things, but the SSP reccommends that 20 births occur every two years to maintain the current population and increase the numbers to 200 in the next 20 years. Last year there were only 5 okapi births in the US. |
