The African okapi is so elusive it was once believed to be a mythical
unicorn. This okapi - seen in Virunga National Park in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo -- is the first one photographed in the wild, the
Zoological Society of London said Thursday. Its appearance proves that
the species is still surviving despite more than a decade of civil
conflict. Zoologists found evidence of an okapi population in the park
through tracks a few years ago.

Experts say the photos indicate a
second group also exists there. The animal previously had only been
glimpsed in passing in the wild, but captive okapis are found in many
zoos Okapi have characteristics similar to deer and giraffes but are
most notable for their zebra-like leg stripes.

British marine experts have found what they claim is a world first -- a
six-legged octopus, or "hexapus," who they have christened Henry. The
unique sea creature, which has two limbs fewer than a normal octopus,
is believed to be the result of a birth defect rather than an accident,
say his keepers at the Blackpool Sea Life Centre in northwest England.
