The 2-year-old okapi male Guus has moved from Safaripark Beekse Bergen in the Netherlands to Parc de Branféré in France. This is a new holder of Okapi's. Soon a second male will arrive.

I found this forum looking for more info on Okapi in Europe so I'm very pleased I have found the list of animals and zoos.
It's a shame the studbook isn't updated anymore, such a valuable resource.

Unfortunately, he was put to sleep in December. Mother Neyla had an infection on the udder and so Dani did not get enough food. They tried to feed him in other ways but this did not work. To prevent further suffering, he was euthanised.

Oh no, that's sad. Unfortunately I have been very sick the past few months and I totally missed the press release about his death, my bad.
Thanks for sharing the map link! I'm going to spend a lot of time there!

Does anybody know which okapis live in Wilhelma Stuttgart? I have in my database Epena, Jamili, Laluk, Nyota, Shomari, Vitu and Thamani.
And who is the father of little Thamani?

Faraa passed away recently. Tafari also passed away in 2020. What happened to Ann I do not know, both sources I use (ZTL and this map) indicate that there is only one female living in Beauval and that is Quinta.

@MennoPebesma is this the Tafari that was born at Chester Zoo a few years ago? If so it’s tragic that she has passed so young. I know her Dad Dicky died fairly recently.
