Had some time on my hands and realised there have been some new additions, not sure how accurate this list is so any insights are appreciated.

As far as I understand, Wild Place Project no longer holds Okapi, I am unsure where the male 'Kivu' ended up (born 29/05/2011 to Vitu and Epena in Stuttgart) as last time I checked he was at Wild Place, I am also unsure of where Jabari (born 17/09/2008 to Bondo and Yenthe in Antwerp) is now as he was at Marwell but I do not believe this is still the case.

Slightly off topic but if you’re into okapi it seems as if wild place may get them back, PURELY SPECULATIVE but on there most recent proposals there is a large area with a conjoining shelter similar to most okapi habitats

Jabari died at Marwell.

Kivu died in 2021 at Wild Place. If you're into okapis, I recently made a list of all okapis in Europe. You can find it here: Okapis in Europe
