Whale, hello, there!
So, living up to our name, we’ve put together an African animal alphabet. No, we’re not lion – we really did. Take a look at our quick index to the outrageous and wonderful creatures which inhabit our continent. It’s a little sealy, but hopefully it’ll have you coming to visit them yourself.

The African Animal Alphabet:
Absurd, amusing and ant eating – the aardvark
Bustling through Botswana – the buffalo
Charming and camouflaged – the cheetah

Dipping and diving – the dolphin

Enchanting and enormous – the elephant
Fascinating, fabulous and funky – the flamingo
Goofy but glamorous – the giraffe and guinea-fowl

Hilarious and hungry hyena, and heavy and (arguably) handsome hippopotamus
Immaculate and inspiring – the impala

Jittery and judicious – the jackal
Killer Kingfisher with Keen eyes
Lavish and luxurious – the lion and leopard

Mischievous and meddlesome – the meerkats
Naturally nimble – the nyala
Outrageous and oh-so-odd – the ostrich

Puzzling but very precious – the pangolin and penguin

Quirky and quaint- the quail (in this case, its’ cousins – the francolin and grouse)
Robust and rare – the rhino
Sneaky and secretive – the serval
Tranquil in turquoise- the turtle
Unbelievable and undiscovered – the unicorn (or in this case, something similar)
Vicious and valiant – the vulture
Wondrous whale and the whiney wild dog
Xenodochial Xenus squirrel
Yikes, a Yellow mongoose
Zesty and zippy – the zebra
And there we have it, the African Animal Alphabet.
