Last week, an endangered okapi was born in London Zoo and, in order to celebrate the forthcoming royal wedding, zookeepers decided to name her Meghan.
Bless.
Here she is being born.

A beautiful girl, if we ever saw one.
Okapis are commonly referred to as zebra giraffes or forest giraffes due to the black and white stripes on their bodies.
They hail from Africa, eat lots of grasses and fruits, and can even live for up to 30 years.
Meghan was born in London Zoo on December 9 to first-time mum Oni and keepers have confirmed that she's been doing very well.
The human Meghan and Prince Harry are set to wed this May.
The much-anticipated wedding (of the century, let's be honest like, we're never going to stop hearing about it), will take place in St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
We're not entirely sure whether Meghan the okapi has received her invite yet, but we can hope.Explore more on these topics:
