## Caption

Tiny #okapi update! Subira and her new calf are bonding behind the scenes and we're happy to report things are going well. To pay tribute to the okapi's native home in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), keepers named the calf Elombe which means "brave one" in Lingala. We call him Eli ❤️ #okapiconservation #babyanimals #endangeredspecies #sandiegozoo #endextinction Special thanks to Keeper Jen for the video/photo.
