Africa is famous for the Sahara desert, but
rain-forests cover almost a quarter of the continent. These jungles are not as
well known or protected as Amazon, but what we do know is appealing. Africa's
most massive forest is the Congo Basin, the second-largest rain-forest in the
world and is considered a stage for Tarzan. There are many other small
rain-forests in Africa. Overall, African rain-forests cover as much land as the
Amazon jungle.
ANTELOPE:
These striped antelopes
are attractive for many reasons. The color of antelope fur rubs very
efficiently, especially when it is wet. Both males and females have two hollow
horns, but male horns are longer and thicker than usual. They are easily
scared, but most of the time, they will flee instead of fighting. Fortunately
for Bongo, the inhabitants of the habitat didn't hurt them. Bongo antelopes are
herbivores and eat a variety of plants. They also need salt from natural salt
licks and even eat charcoal from lightning-burned trees to get salt and
minerals.
MOUNTAIN GORILLA:
Mountain gorillas are
one of the largest living primates. Gorillas are enormous and powerful and can
easily defend groups, but they are peaceful and try to terrify invaders without
physical injury. They are herbivores, and one of their preferred foods is
celery. Strong molars are required to grind bamboo, bark, twigs, and other
sturdy plant materials. Their pointed canines are mainly used to threaten
predators or rivals.
As you can see, the fur
is very thick. This is because they live in the highlands of the mountain area
8,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level and need thicker fur to stay warm. The
tallest and most dominant men in each group are called a silverback because
their back fur looks silvered than others. Mountain gorillas look like Tarzan
gorillas, but they don't. The person who wrote the original Tarzan book created
a fictional seed of the gorilla.
AFRICAN GREY
PARROT:
Although African gray
parrots may not be as brightly colored as many other jungle birds, they are
considered the most intelligent species of bird. A domesticated gray parrot
named Alex could understand over 100 words, correctly identify some colors and
shapes, and understand concepts that an average child can understand. He was
also the primary non-human to inquire about a question. When he wondered what
the bird's first question was, he asked, "What color?" Looking in the
mirror, when he's tired of the test, he surprisingly says, "I want to go
back," and when someone seems frustrated with him, he says, "I'm
sorry." Imagine you have such a pet. In the wild, it eats seeds, nuts,
fruits, flowers, bark, and occasionally insects and snails. Like the Amazon
macaws, African gray parrots regularly eat clay and earth. They also prefer to
climb with their beaks and feet, if possible, rather than fly. African gray
parrots bred for life, and each pair has its tree. Flocks that are very social
birds can contain 1,000 birds and are often very noisy.
PANGOLIN:
The strange-looking
tree pangolin is covered with three-pointer keratin scales, like the nails of
our fingers. Like the opossum, this nocturnal animal can hang on the tree with
its tail and generates a skunk-like smell when threatened. Like anteaters,
pangolins don't need teeth, and they have long, sticky tongues to eat their
favorite foods. Ants and termites. They eat the same food as, but psoriasis and
anteaters have nothing to do.
