This creature, also called a gnu, is never going to win any beauty contests, but she plays a starring role in the Serengeti Migration. The “wildebeest” name is Afrikaans for “wild beast.”
His roar echoing through the Serengeti rouses primordial fear, Humans hearing it for the first time are frozen, stunned by the sound, and completely mystified as to what caused it.
They are the closet living relative of the dinosaur. Being the most advanced of all living reptiles, the croc has such an efficient immune system that it can reach the same high age as humans.
This spotted beauty is the fastest thing on four legs, reaching speeds as high as 70 mph (112 km/h) in only 3 seconds.
As the tallest land animal, nicknamed “‘watchtower of the Serengeti,” this beautiful creature is certainly unique. Although giraffes from the same area do appear similar, no two are exactly the same.
Like their TV star cousins, the Meerkats, these little fellows look pretty cute, but don’t let appearances fool you. Members of the Indian branch of the family kill and eat cobras.
Largest land animal, the elephant has been described as a “creature designed by committee”.
