I don't know of any Okapi-like reports from China and everything I have heard about the Kirin (Chinese Ki-Lin) makes me think it is something more like a bovid with peculiar horns, about the same size and habitat as a chamoisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629061224332673795.post-69200493092578982032012-08-11T19:23:27.325-07:002012-08-11T19:23:27.325-07:00I have been doing a search on the Kirin, a type of...I have been doing a search on the Kirin, a type of creature found in china several thousands of years ago. It is associated with many, many myths. I had decided that the Kirin must have been a kind of Okapi that is now extinct that used to inhabit china, but then I came across this page and it leaves me in doubt. If the author of this page or any viewers of this page has any information or sources about Okapi, or any other Okapi-like animals, especially okapi-like creatures from china, please post soon.

That manuscript also contained reproductions of the North and South African rock art thought to represent Sivatherium and unfortunately I have not been able to get any more copies of the rock art to reproduce.<br /><br />Incidentally on the Sumerian bronze decoration at the top, the animal is supposed to be holding a ring in its mouth only the ends of the ring have been broken off. Presumably the ring had originally been put there to hold a leather strap.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
