All about African Wildlife
Africa is home to some of the most famous wild animals on Earth, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and gorillas. Many of them live in savannas, rainforests and deserts across the continent.
National parks such as the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Kruger in South Africa protect wildlife and their habitats. Many African animals face threats from poaching, habitat loss and conflict with people, so conservation work is very important.
