Animals That Can Be Seen In Africa
Although Africa is known to be the poorest continent in the world, it is also one of the richest in nature, especially when it comes to wildlife. There are animals that can be seen in Africa and possibly nowhere else in the world. We talk about some of them.
Animals that can be seen in Africa
Without a doubt, there are many of these animals that you must see once in your life. If you are planning a trip to Africa and you want to know what they are, do not miss the opportunity to meet them in this list that we have created for you:
Lion
He is known as the king of the jungle, the one who has no predators and always survives. We may have seen some in a zoo when we were little, but observing them in their natural habitat will be an unforgettable experience.
A wild animal where there are, but we would love to be able to cuddle. What a pity that you can’t!
Giraffe
The giraffe is a very calm animal, but it is also very interested. They may not come near you unless you have something they like to feed them. He will take it and go. That’s how they are, but doesn’t their beauty give them the right to be arrogant? We think so, what do you think?
Elephant
Africa is not the only place in the world to see elephants, but it is the only place to meet the African elephant, which has perfect shapes, robust legs and is one of the largest of the species. They live in forests, jungles and savannas, usually near some place where there is water because of their tendency to bathe often and because of everything they need to drink.
Leopard
There are many on the continent, but they are not so easy to see, among other things because they spend almost all their time on the trees, as if it were a guardhouse. Its velvety skin, its sweet gaze that makes it seem harmless, and its agility, is what has always made us fall in love with this animal.
Rhinoceros
‘The depressed animal’ is the name that many indigenous tribes gave to this species that always seems low in spirit. The rhinoceros is solitary and not very social, so it does not usually tolerate the presence of humans that are around it.
Mountain gorilla
This, unfortunately, is an endangered species, as it is believed that there are only about 720 specimens in the world. Therefore, it is difficult to see any, even if you embark on one of the excursions in which they promise you that you will see them. You will have to take a risk if you want to see such a unique animal.
Hippopotamus
Few animals have aroused such tenderness in our childhood as this one. Despite not being a cute furry man, his calm presence and his sweet gaze have always attracted us. As a curiosity, we will tell you that despite their size and tranquility they are capable of running at 32 km / h. Amazing, right?
Nile crocodile
It may not be the most revered or sought-after animal on an excursion, but it is worth getting to know and enjoy seeing up close. Well, not up close, but in one of the safaris that are organized on the continent to see this species of crocodile.
Zebras
Zebras are one of the most curious animals that exist, as they seem to pass through the hands of a painter before they are born. An animal beauty that shares the equine family of horses, with which it bears great similarities.
Although it would be possible to see them in the wild, most of the specimens are in parks and nature reserves in order to preserve the species.
It is sad to think that many of these species are disappearing from the earth by a common predator: man. We want wealth and power has led to the fact that perhaps in a few years we will not be able to enjoy many of them. A sad reality that we must all help to stop.
