Nature ABCs
A-Addax
Addax nasomaculatus is a critically endangered antelope native to the Sahara Desert. It is one of the most desert-adapted African antelopes, with a white coat that helps it to reflect heat and long spiral horns that help it to defend itself from predators. Addax have broad hooves that are adapted for traveling on sand and a highly reflective coat that extracts its water needs from plants. They are nocturnal, resting during the day and feeding at night and early morning when the food has absorbed all the moisture.
Their diet mostly consists of grasses and leaves of shrubs and other plants found in the desert. Addax help to control the populations of grasses and other plants in the Sahara Desert ecosystem, and are a food source for predators such as lions and cheetahs. Addax are also a popular tourist attraction, and their presence helps to support local economies.

A-Angelfish
Freshwater fish (Pterophyllum scalare) native to South America and are one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish. Angelfish come in a variety of colors, including solid silver, colored stripes, and black-and-silver marble. They can live for up to 12 years in captivity and are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of aquatic invertebrates and small crustaceans. They help to keep these populations in check, which prevents them from overgrowing and harming the ecosystem.
Angelfish are also a food source for other fish, such as piranhas and larger predators. This helps to keep the populations of these predators in check, which helps to protect other fish in the ecosystem.

B-Bass Fish
A common name shared by different species of fish, both freshwater and marine. They are carnivorous and feed on a variety of prey, including fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. Some bass are active swimmers, while others are more sedentary. The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an invasive species in South Africa. It was introduced through game fishing and is now a major threat to native fish populations.
This green olive-bodied fish are predators with no natural predators in South Africa, and they quickly outcompete native fish for food and habitat. As a result, many native fish species are now in danger of extinction.

B-Buffalo
Syncerus caffer caffer, the cape buffalo is the largest of the three species of buffalo that exist and are native to Africa and Asia. The forest buffalo is the smallest. African buffalo are hardy animals, able to live and flourish in many habitats from semi-arid bushland to coastal savannas to lowland rainforests as long as they’re close to a water source. They are often seen wallowing in mud, which helps them to get rid of pests and parasites. They also attract the oxpeckers who feed on the parasites. Buffalo calls are like cows but are usually lower pitched. The calls serve as warning signs or signals to move, aggression, mother-to-calf and calf distress.
Buffalo help to control the populations of grasses and they are a food source for predators such as lions and hyenas. However, they are aggressive animals and have caused lots of death and permanent injuries to humans.

C-Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus is the fastest land animal on Earth, capable of running at speeds of up to 120 Kilometers per hour. Cheetahs are covered in small black spots on a background of pale yellow, with a white underbelly. Their faces are distinguished by prominent black lines that curve from the inner corner of each eye to the outer corners of the mouth. They eat a variety of small animals, including birds, hares, and small antelope playing an important role in the ecosystem by keeping these populations in check.
Cheetahs have a gestation period of three months, and the female gives birth to two to eight cubs. Cheetahs are classified as endangered due to population decline. The main threats to cheetahs are habitat loss, poaching, and conflict with humans as they are sometimes killed by farmers who believe they are a threat to their livestock.

C-Crocodile
Large reptiles found across Asia, Africa, Australia, and the American tropics. The Nile crocodile (Crocodiles niloticus) is the largest of the reptile species. Crocodiles are known to spend most of their time in water, but they can also move on land. They have powerful jaws with conical teeth, and they share a unique body form that allows the eyes, ears, and nostrils to be above the water surface while most of the animal is hidden below.
The tail is long and massive, and the skin is thick and plated. Crocodiles are mostly nocturnal animals and feed on a variety of prey, including insects, fish, large mammals, and birds. Crocodiles have caused a lot of death to people and livestock living close to their environment, but they are also an important part of the ecosystem.

Atlas deer are smaller than the typical red deer and have a dark brown body with white spots on their flanks and back. They are found in humid forested areas of Africa and prefer to eat young grasses, buds, herbs, and aquatic plants.
Atlas deer were once at risk of extinction due to uncontrolled hunting, but populations have since rebounded thanks to conservation efforts. Atlas deer play an important role in the ecosystem by helping to control populations of plants and animals.

African bush elephants are found in savannas and woodlands throughout Africa. They are herbivores and eat a variety of plants, including grasses, leaves, and fruit. African bush elephants are social animals and live in herds of up to 100 individuals. The herd is led by an older female elephant, known as the matriarch.
Elephants help to disperse seeds and fertilize the soil. African bush elephants are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The main threats to African bush elephants are habitat loss, poaching, and conflict with humans.

During the summer, fur seals gather in rocky environments to breed and give birth. They are gregarious and have very distinctive vocals.
They are an important part of the marine ecosystem. They are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. This means that they help to control the populations of other marine animals, such as fish and squid. Fur seals are also a food source for other predators, such as sharks and orcas.

(Hippopotamus amphibius) is a large semi-aquatic mammal that is native to Africa and an important part of the ecosystem. They are the third-largest land mammals after elephants and rhinos. They are characterized by barrel-shaped bodies with short tails and legs, and an hourglass-shaped skull with a long snout.
Hippos spend most of their time in water, but they come out to graze on land at night. They are herbivores and eat a variety of grasses, plants, and fruit. Hippos are not good swimmers despite having webbed feet nor can they float.
The hippo's jaw is powered by huge masseter and digastric muscles which give them large, droopy cheeks. The jaw hinge allows the animal to open its mouth at almost 180. Hippos are territorial and aggressive animals and are known to attack boats and kill people.

K- Killer Whale
(Orcinus orca) are toothed whales that belong to the largest oceanic dolphin family. They are one of the planet's most formidable apex predators. Orcas use echolocation, a sophisticated sonar system, for communication and hunting.
By emitting sounds that travel through the water and bounce back upon encountering objects, they gather vital information about their surroundings, including location, size, and shape. This ability enables them to navigate vast oceanic territories and effectively locate prey.

There are two species of kudu: the greater kudu, which is common in southern Africa, and the lesser kudu, which is found in eastern Africa. Kudus are browsers, which means they eat leaves, shoots, and fruits from trees and shrubs. They are also known to eat grass, flowers, and bark.
Kudus are solitary animals, but they will sometimes form groups, especially during the breeding season. They are an important part of the ecosystem, and they help to control populations of plants.

(Panthera Leo) Lions are the second largest cats in the world, after tigers. They are native to Africa and India, and live in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and woodlands. Lions are unique among cats in that they live in prides, which consist of related females and their offspring. While males in a pride do not participate in raising young, they do help to protect the pride's territory.
Lions are apex predators and play an important role in the ecosystem by controlling populations of prey animals. However, lions are threatened by habitat loss and poaching, and are considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
