Among other large animals in savannahs or forests you can find African elephants. They live herds, have a leader, friendly, zealously protect young. They know how to recognize each other and always keep together during migrations. Herds of elephants can be seen in African parks.

The most famous and dangerous representative of the animal world of Africa is a lion. In the north and south of the continent, lions were destroyed, so large populations of these animals live only in Central Africa. They live in savannahs, near water bodies, not only singly or in pairs, but also in groups prides (1 male and about 8 females).

Everywhere except the Sahara desert, leopards live. They are found in forests and savannas, on the banks of rivers and in thickets, on mountain slopes and plains. This representative of the cat family hunts well, both on the ground and in trees. However, the leopards themselves are hunted by people, which leads to their significant extermination.

One of the brightest representatives of the fauna of Africa is the giraffe, the tallest mammal. Different giraffes have individual colors, so no two animals are the same. You can meet them in forests and savannahs, and they live mainly in herds.

Endemic to the continent is the okapi, a member of the giraffe family. They live in the Congo Valley and today are little-studied animals.

Thus, Africa has a rich wildlife. Here you can meet both small insects, amphibians, birds and rodents, as well as the largest predators. Different natural areas have their own food chains, consisting of those species that are adapted to life in certain conditions. If someone happens to visit Africa, then by visiting as many national reserves and parks as possible, you will be able to see a huge number of animals in the wild.
