I feel like y’all aren’t appreciating that Okapi are endangered, extremely hard to find animals (even the folks studying them don’t see them, only scat and in camera traps), only ~100 live in zoos worldwide, and I got to MEET TWO OF THEM AND HAVE MY LIFE LIT UP BY THEIR BEAUTIFUL SMILES AND THEY LICKED ME WITH THEIR GIANT AMAZING TONGUES. I FELT THEIR PRECIOUS BREATH ON MY MORTAL HUMAN FLESH. NOTHING WILL EVER COMPARE TO THAT MOMENT.
