The critically endangered okapi lives in the dense Ituri rainforest, located in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Okapi produce infrasonic vocalizations that are below the frequency range that humans can hear. This allows okapi to communicate without being heard by leopards, their main predators.
Scientists estimate that there are between 10,000 and 25,000 okapi left in the wild. Major threats include habitat destruction, mining and illegal hunting.

Cheetah mothers are essential to the survival of their cubs, caring for them until they can fend for themselves. After a gestation period of approximately 90–95 days, they give birth to a litter that can range from one to eight young, with three to five being the most common.
