redbird: Me with a cup of tea, standing in front of a refrigerator (drinking tea in jo's kitchen)
( Nov. 20th, 2011 05:15 pm)
The Bronx Zoo has a five-month-old okapi, and [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I went to see if she was visible this afternoon. The zoo website warned that the okapi would only be on display until "mid-November" because when it gets cold they have to bring them indoors, and the only okapi viewing area is outdoors in the Congo exhibit.

It turned out to be an excellent day to look at okapi. Reasonably warm (around 60F/15C), with some sunshine and not much wind, and late enough in fall that the trees were mostly bare, so the okapis weren't hidden behind lots of leaves.
