Mountain Gorilla
Once upon a time, the Mountain Gorilla was believed to just be a mythical creature. It wasn’t until explorers found them in Africa that myth became reality. Currently, there are only around 800 in existence and sadly their number is going drastically down.
Okapi
Is it a Zebra? Is it a Giraffe? Nope, well actually, it’a kind of a mixture of both! It wasn’t until 1887 when the Okapi was discovered by Sir Henry Morton that this creature was proven to be real and not mythical.
