All the animals

The white rhino takes its name from one of its physical characteristics, but above all from a translation error.

Alligators’ legs may be short but they can run at a gallop. Their forelegs have five toes while their hind legs have only four.

There are three sub-species of chimpanzee, which can be told apart by the colour of their coat, body size and habitat.

There are 2 species of elephant, one from Asia and one from Africa. The Asian elephant is smaller as it lives in forests and tree savannas.

The hippopotamus spends most of its time in water, as its skin loses moisture too easily in the dry air.

Wolves live in hierarchical packs comprising a dominant male, a dominant female, subordinates and juveniles.

Meerkats, known as the “sentries of the desert”, live in colonies of up to 30 individuals.

It is impossible to confuse the tiger with any other cat: it is the largest of all and the only one covered in stripes.

Zebras are herbivores characterised by their black and white stripes, most of which are vertical.

The exceptional abilities and beautiful colors of the blue and yellow macaw make them one of the finest in this extended family.

Ostrich has only two toes on its feet. When pecking at the vegetation, it is vulnerable to predators including lions.

Sulphur-crested cockatoos are found in Australia. They are primarily vegetarian and can cause significant damage to crops.
