African Animals

Some people refer to the big five, as if there are only five major animals in Africa - the lion,elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo - but there are many animals in Africa, many many!

 Here are ten animals that live in the wild only in Africa:

• The African Elephant

• The Giraffe

• The Ostrich

• The Hippopotamus

• The Zebra

• The Kudu

• Black and White Rhinoceros

• The Spotted Hyena

Here is a site that shares many, many more.

More pictures with information about each, including the Dumbo Octopus (an octopus with great big ears, just like Disney's Dumbo.)
