Some of the most requested animals information, which we include on our wildlife section are:

LIONS:

Lions are a universal emblem of courage – the super-charged hunting beasts admired for centuries for their strength and prowess. More than any other animal, lions symbolise Africa.

The roar of a lion fills the night – the world’s most chilling sound - as powerful as the noise of a small plane taking off. It has a huge appetite: at one sitting, a hungry lion can eat the equivalent of a whole person.

It’s a big killing machine: it weighs at least twice as much as a grown man, has claws like sharp switchblades, a rasping tongue much rougher than sandpaper.

HYENAS:

Manic cackler of the African night – the animal whose calls send trickles of unease down the spine. Ally of witch and sorcerer – according to old superstitious belief. The animal with just about the mightiest bite on the planet.

SHARKS:

Sharks can rouse fear and awe like no other creature in the sea. Find out about the world's biggest and fastest sharks, how sharks reproduce, and how some species are at risk of extinction.

Shark eyes are all different depending on how that particular shark survives in its environment. For example, the lemon shark, which lives in dark waters, can turn on an extra layer in its eye to improve its low-light vision.

The rumors are true: sharks can smell. Just under their snout, sharks have two nares (nasal cavities). Each has two openings: one where water enters, one where water exits. Smelling helps sharks sniff out a possible source of food in the distance.

TIGER:

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthers. It is most recognizable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates, such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat to support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years and then become independent, leaving their mother's home range to establish their own.
