Africa's animals

The ring-tailed lemur is a social animal that lives in groups of between 12 and 24 individuals.

African wild dogs live in packs of up to 30 individuals. Each pack has a clear hierarchy, with one dominant male and one dominant female.

The African penguin, like all penguins, is a seabird characterised by its adaptability to the aquatic environment.

The mandrill stands out due to its striking colours and its war mask designed to impress potential competitors.

Male nyalas are tall animals with large ears, long horns and a ruffled coat. Juveniles and females are reddish-brown in colour and have no horns.

The potamochoerus is primarily nocturnal and rests during the day in the mud. The male defends its harem, which can contain as many as 15 females.

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

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

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