Wonderful zoo

I some times go ZOORASIA.

This is zoo.

We can see endangered species animal.

The animal name is Okapi.

Okapi is called the world three rare animal.

It is called living fossil.

At present, 42 head is kept in the zoo in 22 places in the world.
In Japan, we can only see okapi only zoorasia and Ueno zoo.

The okapi is a mammal of the Ituri Rainforest in central Africa.

Although it bears striped markings reminiscent of the zebra, it is most closely related to the giraffe. Native just to the Ituri forests situated in the north east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it was known only to the local people until 1901.

ZOORASIA is located in yokohama.

this zoo was built in 1999.

so, It is clean.

I recommend ZOORASIA.
