  • The ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii), also known as Temminck's pangolin or Cape pangolin, is one of four species of pangolins which can be found in Africa, and the only one in southern and eastern Africa. As a group, pangolins are among the most critically endangered animals in the world.

  • The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in North, Southern and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. It inhabits a variety of mostly arid habitats like dry forests, scrub forests, and savannahs. The species is IUCN Red Listed as Vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching for the illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans.<br />
It is a carnivore and preys mainly upon antelopes.<br />
Cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500m and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in three seconds.

  • There are few moments that have truly overwhelmed me and I take pride in being able to keep my emotions in check while working, but as soon as the light disappeared and it was time to let this Temminck’s Pangolin go on with its evening, I started to cry. I was so overcome with gratitude and wonder at the opportunity to see such a beautifully unique animal, one I never thought I’d have the chance to see, given its status as the most trafficked mammal on the black market, meaning all 8 species of Pangolin throughout Africa and Asia are in danger of extinction. To witness one of these gentle, docile creatures as it searches for ants and termites to eat, left me in complete awe as well as disbelief that people could be so cruel to these helpless animals.

  • The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a species of venomous snake belonging to the family Elapidae. It is native to parts of sub-Saharan Africa.<br />
It is the second-longest venomous snake after the king cobra; mature specimens generally exceed 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and commonly grow to 3 m (9 ft 10 in).<br />
<br />
The species is both terrestrial and arboreal; it inhabits savannah, woodland, rocky slopes and in some regions, dense forest.<br />
It is diurnal and is known to prey on birds and small mammals.<br />
Over suitable surfaces, it can move at speeds up to 16 km/h (10 mph) for short distances.<br />
Adult black mambas have few natural predators.<br />
<br />
Its venom is primarily composed of neurotoxins that often induce symptoms within ten minutes, and is frequently fatal unless antivenom is administered.
