"Dick, why do you study Arabic so closely?""To understand Arabic.""And further?"Dick Compton closed his book and placed it carefully in a leather case."It is a pity you were born curious, Venning, otherwise you would have made an excellent companion for a studious man. 'Why do I wish to understand Arabic?' Why do you stand on one leg watching a tadpole shed its tail.""Excuse me, I always sit down to watch a tadpole.""Yet I have seen you poised on one leg for an hour like a heron, afraid to put down the other foot lest you should scare some wretched pollywog. Why?""I do it for the love of the thing, Dick. What is a page of your crooked signs compared with a single green pond and all that it holds?""By Jove! Is that so-and would you find a volume in a caterpillar?""Why not? Listen to me, Dick. Take the silver-spiked caterpillar, with a skin of black satin and a length that runs to four inches. He lives his life in the topmost boughs of an African palm-a feathered dome amid the forest-and there beneath the blue sky he browses till he descends into the warm earth to sleep in chrysalis form before he emerges as a splendid moth, with glass windows in his wide wings to sail with the fire-flies through the dark vaults of the silent woods.""All that from a caterpillar?""That and much more, Dicky.""And where will this study of the caterpillar lead you, Godfrey? One can't live on a caterpillar.""Yet there is one kind-fat and creamy-that makes good soup.""Ugh, you cormorant! But tell me seriously, what is the end of your studies-where will they lead you?""To Central Africa.""Do you mean that, Venning?""I do, Dick. There is one spot on the map of Africa that is marked black. That spot is covered over hundreds of square miles by the unexplored forest. Think what that means to me!""Fever most likely-or three inches of spear-head.""A forest big enough to cover England! Just think of the new forms of life-from a new ant to an elephant or hornless giraffe. The okapi was discovered near that great hunting-ground-and, who is to say there are not other animals as strange in its untrodden depths?""Is it a wild-fowl, the okapi?"

Ernest Glanville (5 May 1855 in Wynberg - 6 September 1925 in Rondebosch) was a South African author, known especially for his short stories which are widely read and taught in South Africa. He also wrote seventeen historical novels. Glanville was educated at St. Andrew's College, Grahamstown from January 1869 to May 1871. His schooling was interrupted when he and his father transported the first printing press from Grahamstown to Griqualand West by ox wagon in 1870 and began publishing a newspaper in Kimberley. In addition to his literary works, he worked in journalism for the Cape Argus and other newspapers, and collaborated with Dr MacGowan on the 1905 Jubilee Hymn. He was married to Emma Priscilla Powell, with whom he had two children-Thomas and Ada.

Okapi loves his striped legs until a naughty chimpanzee teases him for stealing "zebra pants". Suddenly his special stripes don't feel special. They feel terrible! OKAPI loves spending carefree days frolicking in the African Rainforest alongside his best friend AFRICAN GREY PARROT. One day, he meets a CHIMPANZEE who laughs at his striped legs and teases that he's stolen a zebra's pants. OKAPI has never met a ZEBRA and pretends he doesn't care, but the seed is planted, and he soon finds himself questioning the very stripes he used to love. What choice does he have but to set out in search of this strange zebra animal and see for himself if he has in fact accidentally taken its pants. On the surface, "Okapi Loves His Zebra Pants" is about an Okapi dealing with hurt feelings from being teased, but look deeper, and it's a story about resilience, self-acceptance, community, and finding joy in our similarities as well as our differences. Kids love the fact-filled spread at the end of the story where they can learn about okapis, chimpanzees and African grey parrots, ways to help endangered animals, and even how to draw them! Endangered & Misunderstood is an ongoing series of children's picture books that takes a different approach to the serious subject of lesser-known endangered animals, with an emphasis on laughter, adventure, and themes everyone can relate to. Buy and review "Okapi Loves His Zebra Pants" to help the endangered okapi. All proceeds go towards the protection and conservation of okapis.

Shoo Wee! Do you smell that? What is that smell...I think it's that Okapi! What is an Okapi, anyway? Okapis are nearly impossible to observe in the wild and, once discovered, obtained a mythical reputation and gained the name "African unicorn." This book is the first in a series of "ficinformational" books about lesser known animals with weird traits like the okapi. The illustrations are engaging, and the story is just plain fun to read and filled with real facts. Shoo Wee Okapi! is a humorous illustrated picture book written in conversational, comic book style and including fun facts on this almost mythical creature. The mysterious nature of the okapi provides a perfect platform to combine storytelling as a means to both entertain and educate. Shoo Wee Okapi! decidedly affirms for readers that we are all more similar than we may seem and differences can be divine.

Congo-Zaire contains Africa's largest remaining tracts of intact rain forest, making it one of the most important regions for biodiversity conservation. Its Ituri Forest is home to plants and animals native to nowhere else on earth, including the elusive and little-known okapi. In this popularly written book, three long-time observers of the okapi present a complete, contemporary natural history of this appealing relative of the giraffe. They recount its discovery by European explorers and describe its appearance and life cycle. They also discuss current efforts to preserve the species, both in the wild and at zoos around the world. Illustrated with charming line drawings, The Okapi will be a valuable resource for conservationists and zoo visitors alike-indeed anyone fascinated by the mysterious animal of Congo-Zaire.
