Okapi - artiodactyl mammal from the giraffe family, living in dense tropical forests only on the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are reserved, very timid and solitary animals that only come together to breed. Like giraffes, okapi feed primarily on tree leaves, sometimes grass, ferns, mushrooms, and fruits. Able to reach speeds up to 55 km / h. Its main natural enemy is the leopard.

Gerenuk or giraffe gazelle is a species of African antelope, distributed primarily in the dry territories of East Africa from Ethiopia and Somalia to Tanzania. Representatives of this species have a characteristic, very thin shape of the neck and legs, so that they cannot be confused with other antelopes. Generuki are active in the morning and evening. They feed exclusively on leaves, buds and young shoots of shrubs and trees growing in their habitats. They can go without water for a very long time.

They form harem groups of 8–15 individuals, which consist of one male, several females and cubs. Young leaves make up the bulk of their diet. To a lesser extent, they also eat mature leaves, fruits, flowers, and invertebrates. The main enemy hunting these primates is the most dangerous bird of prey in the world - the crowned eagle.

Animals of Africa in photos (17 photos)
Report on animals of Africa for children.

AFRICA- a vast continent located on both sides of the equator. Here big variety natural landscapes: deserts, savannahs, rainforests, where animals live, many of which are not found on other continents. In Africa there are major rivers, there are many marshy swamps and large lakes. Animals and birds quench their thirst in reservoirs; here they feed and hunt for prey.

Part of the African continent is occupied savannas, sprouted with grass, often fading from the sun, and small shrubs. There are almost no trees here, only thick baobabs and acacias grow with umbrella-shaped branches. At the end of spring comes the rainy season; It is at this time that vegetation develops rapidly. In some places, reservoirs are even formed, where various animals come to bathe singly or in whole groups.

Pink flamingo
Colonies of pink flamingos inhabit the shores of the great African lakes. These large birds, representatives of the order of the ankles, draw water with their beaks and filter out edible algae. The pigment contained in these algae gives the plumage of birds such a bright color.
Before taking off, flamingos stretch their necks forward and scatter; they all leave the ground together, rushing in the same direction.


Zebras
Zebras have striped not only the body, but even the mane, tail and skin. Only the tips of the muzzle and tail are black. However, there are no identical zebras - each of them has its own black and white pattern. This coloring helps zebras hide, because their worst enemies - lions and panthers - are always on the alert!


Giraffe
A giraffe with its long neck is no less than two-storey house. With such growth, it is not difficult for him to detect an approaching lion from afar. The long neck helps the animal to pluck the juicy foliage of tall acacias. But to get drunk, the giraffe has a hard time: he needs to spread his front legs and bend his neck strongly - only then will he be able to reach the water.


African crocodile
A crocodile is a large freshwater reptile, or reptile. And besides, it's very dangerous. In appearance, a sleepy crocodile rushes at the victim with lightning. The female lays her eggs on the shore, and carries the hatched cubs in her mouth.
Too frisky crocodile cubs - the mother calms them down by throwing them up.


Lion and lioness
The lion is the largest feline in Africa. This king of beasts is not afraid of anyone. Its roar can be heard for many kilometers around. Surprisingly, it is not lions that hunt, but lionesses. At one time, the lion eats over 10 kg of meat.


Eagle Fisherman
The fisher's eagle has a large hooked beak and strong claws. This predator has excellent eyesight: it can easily notice a fish swimming under water. Then he rushes down and grabs prey, sometimes without even soaking his feathers. And the little eagles, who still cannot fish on their own, are patiently waiting for their father in the nest, located on the top of the acacia.


Rhinos
Rhinos are not very friendly. These animals are easily recognizable by their two horns - large and small. After eating, the rhinoceros rests somewhere in the shade, hiding from the scorching sun. He also likes to wallow in the mud - this is how the animal protects itself from the bites of annoying insects.


Cheetah
The cheetah is a big fan of antelopes. He is not as strong as a panther, but he is a great runner. This is the fastest mammal on the planet: the cheetah can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h.


African elephant
The elephant is the largest animal that lives on land. It can weigh 6 tons. Elephant tusks grow throughout their lives. The ears of an African elephant are much larger than those of an Asian elephant and are also used for fanning. However, the most important thing is the trunk: with the trunk, the elephant draws water for drinking, pours over his body from the shower, nibbles grass, and plucks leaves from tall trees.


Antelope Kudu
Kudu is one of the antelopes living in the vast savannah. Always, before running away from the enemy, these antelopes make impressive jumps.


Hippopotamus
Hippopotamus (or hippopotamus) in translation means "river horse". And this is true: almost all the time the hippopotamus spends in the lake or in the river. Often the animal is completely submerged, and only the nostrils and eyes remain visible on the surface. Sometimes the hippopotamus opens its mouth and exposes formidable fangs. This huge mammal weighing over three tons can cross the river along the bottom and hold its breath for more than 3 minutes.


buffaloes
Buffaloes are strong African bulls that live in the tropics, near water bodies. They were nicknamed the "Viking helmet" - for large curved horns.
Buffaloes stand in the water for hours or even bathe in the mud to get rid of annoying mosquitoes and other biting insects.


Panther (leopard)
Panther, or leopard, is a lone predator that climbs trees beautifully. It is sitting on a tree that the panther loves to lie in wait for prey. Often, after a successful hunt, a predator drags prey up a tree, away from numerous voracious thieves.


Baboons
Baboons live in families and constantly wander from place to place in search of food: plants, insects, birds, and even young gazelles. At night, while sleeping, baboons climb high up a tree so that the panther cannot find them. Sensing danger, baboons hiss and stick out their large fangs.

MADAGASCAR ISLAND, located east of Africa, is the habitat of amazing animals, very similar to monkeys. These animals are called lemurs.


Lemur Indri
Indri is the noisiest and largest of all lemurs. He rarely climbs down from trees, where he jumps from branch to branch. Sometimes a lemur jumps 10 meters to get a flower, fruit or succulent shoot. And his tail is one of the smallest.


ring-tailed lemur
The ring-tailed lemur is easily recognizable by its long striped tail. Noticing the danger, the lemur swings its tail, exuding an unpleasant odor, and this often scares off the enemy.


Lemur Little Arm Aue-aue

Lemur Armed Aue-Aue. His tail is like that of a squirrel, and his eyes are round, like beads. The animal feeds on insects and their larvae, as well as fruits.

Africa is the second largest continent in the world and is home to many wild animals. For many of us, this is a strange territory - dark, distant, hiding ancient secrets. More than 1100 live here. various kinds mammals and over 2,600 different bird species. And hundreds of amphibians, reptiles and insects ... Amazing, isn't it? The most famous mammals in Africa are called the "Big Five" - ​​these are the elephant, lion, rhinoceros, leopard and buffalo.

Hippos are vegetarians

It's hard to believe, but hippos can consume 45 kg of plant food per day. And although hippos are quite aggressive towards humans, it is believed that they do not neglect cannibalism, in fact, hippos are herbivores. Little research has been done in this regard, scientists are still studying the behavior and eating habits of hippos in the wild.

Did you say blue tongue? Cool!

Can you guess which animal has a blue tongue? Giraffe! The average length of a giraffe's tongue is about 50 cm, and yes, it is blue in color. The long tongue allows them to pluck leaves from higher branches on trees. Scientists believe that melanin, the pigment that provides dark skin pigmentation, is responsible for the blue/purple hue of the giraffe's tongue. There is still no definitive answer as to why giraffes actually have blue tongues, but it is believed that this color was obtained as a result of evolution in order to provide protection from the sun.

Crocodile life

Did you know that crocodiles existed on earth before the dinosaurs? You can bet you don't! Crocodiles have a good digestive system and they can live without food for several months. They can also hold their breath underwater for more than ten minutes and are believed to have a very strong immune system. And crocodiles are lucky enough to have the greatest bite force of any animal on earth. Impressive, isn't it?

✰ ✰ ✰

African elephant

African elephants are the largest animals on earth. They differ from Asian elephants in the shape of their ears, which reach 1.2-1.5 meters in length and help the animal get rid of excess heat. These huge animals grow up to 7.5 meters in length and weigh up to seven tons. African elephants, unlike their Asian counterparts, also have two appendages at the end of their trunks. They live almost throughout the African continent, with the exception of North Africa.

Penguins? In Africa?

The last thing to expect in Africa is penguins, but they are there! It is more common to see penguins against snow and ice, but African penguins have adapted to warmer climates. They live on the coast and islands of South Africa. They are also called donkey penguins due to their ability to communicate with a bleating sound similar to the sounds made by donkeys. African penguins are covered in water-repellent feathers and live in herds.

Features of the pangolin language

Pangolins are mammals that belong to the order Pholidota. They are nocturnal and also very shy. They feed only on insects. The most amazing thing is that their tongues, long and sticky, can be folded into a kind of cover, which is additionally attached to their chest cavity. The muscles that control the movements of the tongue are located throughout abdominal cavity and even in the pelvis.

What do giraffes have in common with humans?

It's hard to imagine that a giraffe could have anything in common with a human. As a rule, we do not compare them in any way, but giraffes and humans have been found to have the same number cervical vertebrae.

Killer ostriches

No one can deny the fact that ostriches can kill people. They can literally beat a person to death, a paw strike easily breaks the spine and bones. But it has been observed that they can only hit in the forward direction, so it can be assumed that in the event of an attack it is safer to remain on your back and, if possible, be on the side of the bird.

Africa ... How many interesting and mysterious are its tropical forests and endless savannahs. Animals of huge sizes and very small and inconspicuous live here, although it is not a fact that some insect is completely harmless compared, for example, with huge elephant or a lion, close to which a rare daredevil dares to be. African animal world so colorful and amazing that the interest to touch it closer and learn more about its representatives will never run out. So, ZENUN will tell you who are the very best animals of Africa.

Africa's rarest animal

Okapi. The forest giraffe, or, as it was previously called, Johnson's horse, looks like a kind of hybrid of three animals at once: a horse, a giraffe and a zebra. For the first time, Henry Stanley, a well-known traveler and journalist, heard about these animals from local aborigines. When the skin of a forest giraffe fell into the hands of researchers, it was at first mistakenly attributed to the horse family, but a subsequent study of a rare and very shy animal led to the conclusion that the outlandish animal is more like a pygmy giraffe, miraculously preserved since the Ice Age.

An amazing animal with the body of a horse, long, painted like a zebra, legs, an outstretched neck and a clearly giraffe muzzle is hiding from human eyes in the Congo basin.

The most unusual animal in Africa

Belttail. That's really whose kind will surprise any connoisseur of nature. This lizard, found in rocky areas near the southern borders of the Sahara, is a surviving dragon child. Reaching a length of 70 cm, the girdle is as if assembled, like a designer, from rectangular plates-scales. There are up to 70 species of these spiny dragons, and each species has its own food preferences. Introducing video about these lizards:

Africa's most dangerous animal

Probably, no other continent is inhabited by so many especially dangerous animals. Snakes, poisonous flies, scorpions, mosquitoes, not to mention outright predators like lions and crocodiles. Even when hunting herbivorous buffalo giants, you can easily turn from a hunter into a victim. However, the most dangerous for a person who decides to walk around Africa is fly tse tse.

You won’t even realize how this rather large bloodsucker will bite you and infect you with sleeping sickness. Every year, tse tse sends almost a quarter of a million unfortunate people to another world, who, due to circumstances, have become a target for a flying death-bearer.

Africa's largest animal

Even a child can answer this question. Of course it is. The largest specimen that fell into the observation zone of the human race weighed 12 tons! Surprisingly, elephants communicate at ultra-low frequencies, which are simply beyond the reach of the human ear. And one more interesting fact about African giants: elephants are able to create seismic waves that spread within a radius of up to 2 km!

Africa's tallest animal

And even a kid from the nursery group will answer this question for you. Who does not know the spotted handsome man. The African "Uncle Styopa" can grow up to 6 meters in height. Moreover, this giant is dangerous, rather, only to trees, because in a day he can eat 63 kg of shoots and succulent leaves! Just think, one step of this giant is 4 meters, while it can accelerate to 50 km / h!

Africa's fastest animal

Handsome cheetah not only is it on the list of the rarest animals, it is also the leader of the 500 meters race. This graceful cat seems to be specially created for speed, however, it is the weakest representative of its kind. His appearance can be described in just two words: feline aristocrat. However, no one will be able to catch up with this handsome man, because he accelerates to 90 km / h!

The scariest animal in Africa

His name Gustav. - the cannibal is still alive and inspires quiet horror not only in souls local residents, because he kills people for fun and entertainment, and not at all from hunger. The Nile monster weighs a whole ton, it is almost 60 years old and the beast lives in African Burundi. The body of this monster is covered with welts and scars from knives and bullets, but all attempts to catch the dodgy and very cunning beast have ended in failure so far. He has never fallen into a single underwater trap. If you suddenly see a 6-meter crocodile with a dark spot on its forehead, run if you don't want to be another fun for Gustav.

This is the world of the most-most animals in Africa. Some of them you have known for a long time, and some you probably learned for the first time. And how much more amazing and unknown is hidden behind the stones, in the sands and on the trees of this hot continent, one can only guess.
