    Just wondering if anyone could give me info on the okapi at SDWAP

    Masombi (What happened to him)
    Imba (Where is he now)
    Akin Ali (Where is he now)
    Kasai (Where is she now)
    Melaku (Where is he now)
    Ayana (Who is the father of her calf that she is pregnant with)
    Imara (Just her general status)

    Any info on these guys (or the others at SDWAP) would be great!

    - Imba is at Denver
    - Kasai died on November 14, 2007
    - Melaku went to Pretoria (South Africa) in 2006
    - Akin Ali is currently in Los Angeles
    - I think Biscotti is the sire of Ayana's calf

    I'm still looking up Masombi. If I find anything I'll post it.

    Thank you C-Bus001 and taun for the info/resources!

    Masombi died back in November 2008

    Sefina (another female) had a stillborn calf back in July (Father was Masombi)

    Imara is currently at SDWAP

    I think Ayana's calf is actually sired by Kenda (before he passed away), or else its Biscotti

    Just a little blurb about a SDZ calf who was born to Kelle in 2006 (Kidomo) , although they assumed the father was Masombi, he was actually sired by Biscotti!

    Kidomo moved to Oklahoma and recently sire his first calf
