Title
Okapi Group, Akeley Hall of African Mammals
Description
The American Museum's Congo Expedition resulted partly from the museum's desire to study the okapi, an animal that had been discovered by Europeans in 1902. Lang returned with several okapi specimens as well as detailed examples of the flora in their habitat. The okapi were mounted casts made of the trees and leaves to create this diorama that is still on exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History's Akeley hall of African Mammals.
