Took a picture that includes this game (5)

I believe the answer is:

okapi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'took a picture that includes' is the wordplay.
'that includes' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OKAPI' can be found hidden inside 'took a picture'.

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for okapi that I've seen before include "Animal, a sort of zebra/giraffe cross" , "African mammal related to giraffe" , "African leaves fancier" , "Type of giraffe" , "Animal of central Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
