Fact: Okapis have a secret language. They use coughs, bleats, and whistles quite often, but they also use other calls with very low frequencies. These calls are so low, in fact, that humans cannot hear them at all! It’s only when looking at recordings via specialized computer software that these calls become visible.
One explanation is that these calls have evolved for communication between Mom and her baby while she’s out foraging. In this situation, Mom can “check in” with her offspring without alerting potential predators of the fact that her baby is vulnerable. Predators remain unaware of these "check ins" as, like humans, they cannot hear sounds so low in pitch.

There's some people who are so much a part of us that they'll be there with us no matter what. They are our solid ground, our north star, and the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us...always ~ Alexis Castle | | We are bound by our choices, but we are more than our mistakes ~ Kate Beckett | |

Fact:
Okapis prefer altitudes of 500 to 1,000 m, but may venture above 1,000 m in the eastern montane rainforests. Because of a considerable amount of rain in these forests, okapis have oily, velvety fur coats that repel the water.
