Those who have visited Africa will be aware of the rich diversity of life there with over 1100 mammal species, 2600 species of birds, over 3000 different species of fish and 100,000 different types of insect, with four out of the five fastest land animals in the world being found in Africa, namely the cheetah, wildebeest, lion, and gazelle. In addition, Africa is home to many hundreds of different reptiles and long before man, the continent was roamed by the world's oldest dinosaurs including Nyasasaurus Parringtoni ~ estimated to be 240 million years old.
On this African animals website you can find out all about the animals of Africa complete with up-to-date news and live webcams where you can sit back and watch African animals in their
natural habitats from watering holes to rivers and the savannahs. We also partner with animal welfare organisations to bring you 'Adopt an Animal' gift packs so you can contribute towards the well-being and habitats of these African animals as well as daily updated news about the animals species from across the continent and information about each of the animals found in Africa!
