â€"_ ~â€"ODKAPI .18 . SELDOM _FOUND rarest animals in the world, and the only extant relative of the giraffe, is now on exhibition of Field Museum of Natural History, Stephen C. Simms, acting director of the museum, anâ€" nounces. Hunters find the okapi the most difâ€" ficult of all African animals to obtain, according to Dr. Wilfred Osgood, cuâ€" rator of zoology. The Field Museum specimen was speared by pigmy naâ€" tives in the Ituri forest of the Belgian Congo, and was obtained from them by the Captain Marshall Field African Expedition. It was brought to this country by Edmund Holler, formerly of the zoological staff of Field Museâ€" um, who led the expedition. Mr. Holler is now director of the Milwauâ€" kee Zoological gardens. The okapi is a forest animal of shy, secretive and nocturnal habits, and is found only in a limited area of the Congo, inhabited mainly by pigmy black men who are extremely hostile to whites. Members of the expedition had to spend several weeks building up good will on the part of those pigâ€" mies to get on good enough terms to obtain their aid in getting an okapi specimen, and their assistance is alâ€" most indispensable in hunting this elusive creature. Discovered in 1900 The okapi is a striped animal, and its existence was not suspected until as reeently as 1900, when some strips of its skin were obtained from natives by Sir Harry Johnston, a British colâ€" onial administrator, says Dr. Osgood.

It is the realization of a dream of Dr.. John G.
