Description
I really just wanted to draw the neck and the clavicle to begin with, and then it turned into this little lady.She's an Okapi for anyone couldn't see it.
And I've gotten lazy with the titles; they're just random AC/DC-songs

OKAPI! I always point htem out when we take the kids to the zoo. Something so sweet about her eyes.

When I was a kid, we were told that the okapis were incredibly fragile creatures, and once there was a concert held inside the zoo. Albeit it was on the property it was still a fair distance from the installation of the okapis.
The music, apparently, stressed out the animals so much that one of them actually died during that night.
Now I don't know if that's just an old maids tale, or if they are just INCREDIBLY weak animals. Either way, they sure are beautiful!

I actually do believe this. My husband spoke with a scientist who works with the zoo and she says that zoo events are REALLY rough on the animals and they can not only startle them by noise but they can even throw off hormone cycles due to the lights and things at night. Apparently there was one case where these caracals were going into heat like every week because of a weekly concert series. The lights at night were tricking their bodies into thinking it was mating season.

Yeah, stuff like that can really fuck up the animals. I have to admit, I can very clearly feel that I've outgrown the zoo's because the last time I went there, it sort of broke my heart. And that's coming from one of the most respected and well-designed zoo's in Europe, if not THE best. Even if they DID have amazing living-conditions, I was still a bit iffy about it :S

Isn't it cool when a random whim to doodle breeds a totally new and interesting character?
My Mildred came about that way. So did the fanboys for that matter.
