The African continent is home to a diverse
group of animals. Famed for large predators, like lions and cheetahs,
its savannahs are also home to a wide variety of grazing animals,
as well as elephants, hippos and gorillas. Africa is not just grasslands,
however -- there are deserts, snow-capped mountains, forests and
jungles, all of which host animals native to those habitats. The
colder regions are even home to animals you wouldn't expect to find
in Africa, like wolves and penguins.
