Okapi in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, Ituri forest, DR Congo. Filmed in March 2007 by WildlifeDirect in Epulu, in Ituri province. The okapi is a male called Karu. Visit www.wildlifedirect.org/okapireserve for more information.

The giant Chimpanzee society of the Congo that are able to take down lions. Today, we take a look at this giant Chimpanzee society of the Congo that are able to take down lions.

Chimpanzees are perhaps best known for being our closest relation on Earth. It's not hard to see why. We look very alike and scientists have even been able to work out that we share around 94 to 98 percent of DNA with them. With that being said though we are still very different.

Observing these animal has given us an insight into there behaviour and how they act in their natural environment. They have been observed showing strong emotions and growing bonds with each other, very similar to what us humans do.

Thank you for watching!

Bantou Mentale - Congo Animal (EP)

💥 Stream / Download: https://idol.lnk.to/Congo_Animal

Bantou Mentale are to the Congo what Björk is to Iceland, Kraftwerk to Germany or Metronomy to the UK – of a place, but not defined by it, not flying any particular flag. Their ‘hood is one part Kinshasa Grand Marché, one part Paris Chateau Rouge, and one part YouTube. Their roots are in the forest, with the first people. Their outer branches are in the technosphere, beyond old horizons.

You could call it the future sound of the Congo. But can music really represent a country or a place any more, when everyone’s living together in new neighbourhoods with strange deracinated names - Soundcloud, WhatsApp, Zoom, Instagram?

But perhaps the virus has reminded us of something that Africa never forgot, which is the art of living for today, of hanging out, making do, surviving on less, depending on your neighbours and being content with a few chairs on a street corner, a few beers, a few friends. We need all types of a neighbourhood, the old and the new. That’s the truth.
True, the virus won’t allow you to be a party animal, a drunk and grimy late night city-skank animal. It forbids you to get on stage and crank it up like a rock’n’roll animal. But you can still be a beat animal, a techno animal, a Congo Animal, in that other sphere, the one we all live part of our lives in now.

Here’s soundtrack for that new world, mashed together from bits of over-cranked kalimba, Kasai beat inspiration, keening vocals from Apocalypse, Cubain Kabeya’s percussion and voice, Chicco’s guitar, all looped, sequenced, cloned by Doctor L, locked down in Dakar.

From lions, leopards, and elephants … to deadly snakes and killer crocodiles … here are 18 animals of the Congo

#7 Okapi (oh-kah-pee)
This beast was once known as the African Unicorn because its existence was thought to be a myth. It wasn’t formally recognized until 1901. But it’s understandable why scientists initially thought the creature was a legend. The Okapi looks like a mash up of a zebra and a giraffe. While it’s not related to zebras, it is the closest living relative to giraffes. The elongated neck and long black tongue are among the physical traits they share. The Okapi’s stripes and other coloration serves as camouflage within its forest habitat.

#6 Mandrill
These animals were once misidentified as baboons. In fact, they are Old World Monkeys that were given their own genus. Once seen, you can’t forget the mandrill’s vivid facial coloration. Even Charles Darwin once commented on how striking the Mandrill’s appearance is among mammals. Male specimens weighing as much as 130 pounds (60 kg) have been reported by Guinness. Wildlife experts say these are social animals that like to congregate in large numbers called ‘hordes’. One horde was estimated to contain more than 1,300 individuals, making it the largest grouping of nonhuman primates ever documented!

#5 African Manatee
We mentioned elephants earlier in the list. Did you know that these animals are among the closest living relatives of those beasts? Experts say that manatees evolved from a common terrestrial mammal about 60 million years ago. Manatees can be found in rivers, lakes, or oceans and can weigh upwards of 800 pounds (360 kg). You wouldn’t expect this big, bulky beast to move fast, and they don’t. The fastest they can normally swim is about 5 miles per hour (8 km/h). But if a predator is chasing them, manatees can ramp it up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).

#4 Hyraxes
This critter has something in common with the aforementioned manatee. We’ll tell you about that in a moment. Hyraxes are small, thickset mammals that have a superficial resemblance to rodents, but the animals are unrelated. Five species are found throughout Africa, where they often prefer rocky terrain. They have padded feet with sweat glands that help them negotiate steep cliffs and outcroppings. The largest species can measure about 28 inches long (70 cm) and weigh around 11 pounds (5 kg). So what do they have in common with manatees? They’re both closely related to elephants. Although given the small size of Hyraxes that’s hard to believe


#3 Black Mamba
One of the world’s most feared and venomous snakes resides in the Congo. This elapid (el-uh-pid) can reach lengths of between 10 to 15 feet (3 m to 4.5 m) and can live in the trees or on the ground. Its name is a reference to the snake’s inky black mouth which it opens as a threat display. It’s best to heed the warning. This critter can repeatedly strike from long distances with venom that produces fatal symptoms within minutes.

#2 Spotted Hyena
Have you ever heard of the Laughing Hyena? That refers to this creature, which makes vocalizations that can sound like maniacal human laughter. These are animal icons of Africa, and are known for exhibiting complex social behaviors. Some experts say that among carnivores their social organization is closer to that of certain Old World primates. They have a long association with humans, with depictions of the animals showing up in cave paintings from the Upper Paleolithic period. They’re actually shy in the presence of humans, and will often run off should it detect someone as far away as 300 meters (984 feet). It’s just as well because spotted hyenas have a bone-crushing bite that’s more powerful than that of a brown bear!

Okapi is the only living relative of the giraffe. The okapi is endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Okapi prefers dense and damp vegetation, so it inhabits rainforests. On average, okapi weighs between 440 and 700 average lifespan of the okapi is between 20 and 30 years.
Intensive deforestation during the 20th century has reduced the number of okapis to around 10 000. At the moment they are listed as "near threatened", which means that they could easily become endangered in the near future.

5 unsolved mysteries of the Congo jungle that cannot be explained. Today, we take a look at these 5 unsolved mysteries of the Congo jungle that cannot be explained.

Every single year, scientists have been finding the existence of long since believed to be extinct species all across the world, including the existence of many marine animals that were roaming the oceans back during the time of the dinosaurs.

One location that's said to house some of these creatures is that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which seems to be earth’s real life jurassic park.

The Congo Jungle, also known as the Congo Basin or the Congo Rainforest, is a vast and dense tropical rainforest that covers a large part of Central Africa.

Since its discovery, the Congo has aroused the fascination of its visitors. Many describe it as a prehistoric place where life has stopped. Its forests, jungles, and savannahs are intact, almost without alteration or human contact and this has caused it to become not only a scenario that transports its visitors to a remote era but also the lair of monstrous animals, unclassified creatures that escape the understanding of science and hunters.

Few places in the world are so little-known as the impenetrable jungles of the Congo. Deep in the jungle, the stories of explorers, journalists, scientists, and missionaries, stories that seem to spring from fevers and the imagination, gradually take shape. The legends come alive when the Baaka Pygmies guide our cameras into the lush vegetation to show us the reality behind the myths. Genocidal kings, living dinosaurs, peaceful giants, demonic killers… the spirits of the jungle are backed by rational explanations with scientific and historical analysis. Although such analysis may reveal that the reality is much more terrible than the fantasy of the legends

Step into the enchanting world of the Congo Basin and discover its incredible wildlife! Join me on an awe-inspiring journey as we encounter the magnificent creatures that call this diverse ecosystem home. From the playful bonobos swinging through the treetops to the elusive bongo gracefully roaming the forest floor, every animal has a story to tell.

In this video, we'll also encounter otters gracefully gliding through rivers, snakes slithering stealthily in search of prey, and monkeys displaying their acrobatic skills high above in the canopy. But that's not all - keep your eyes peeled for colourful spiders spinning intricate webs and a symphony of vibrant birds filling the air with their melodious songs.

Prepare to be amazed by the sheer beauty and diversity of nature as we delve into this captivating exploration. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking inspiration, this video will leave you in awe of the wonders that exist within our world. So grab your binoculars, pack your sense of wonder, and let's embark on a virtual adventure through the breathtaking Congo Basin!
