Scientists still know little about okapi social behavior. They appear mostly solitary. Interactions are brief and infrequent. Territory overlap is poorly understood. Communication remains subtle. Much remains undocumented.
This lack of knowledge highlights research challenges. Elusive animals leave gaps in science.
It emphasizes why conservation includes study. You can’t protect what you don’t understand.
New discoveries about okapi behavior are still being made.
