Cooperating ranchers and conservationists are planting cottonwood branches and coyote willow to build up the riverbank areas. The riverbanks were cleared away decades ago for mining and construction.

For example, one of the riverside villages would export items such as harvested nuts, natural rubber, palm fruits like acai, oil from copaiba trees to use in cosmetics and many other natural resources.

Albino Giraffes can be found all over Africa. They have a tongue with the length of over eighteen inches! The Albino Giraffe has very tall limbs to help them reach the leaves in the trees, and their tongue is so long so that they can dodge the thorns on the tree trunk! Giraffes are very protective over their babies and when they have to, they will protect them and their babies, they must trample a lion.

Like most predators, they play an important role in eliminating sick and weak animals, thereby helping maintain the natural balance and improve prey species. They can run long distances at speeds up to 35 mph. Of the large carnivores, wild dogs are probably the most efficient hunters, targeted prey rarely escapes. African wild dogs live in packs averaging from seven to 15 members and sometimes up to 40. Before the recent population decline, packs of up to 100 were recorded.  Within the pack, these canines have a unique social structure. They cooperate in taking care of the wounded and sick members, there is a general lack of aggression exhibited between members of the pack, and there is little intimidation among the social hierarchy. Every hunting pack has a dominant pair. They are usually the only pair that remains monogamous for life. Wild dogs also have a large range of vocalizations that include a short bark of alarm, a rallying howl, and a bell-like contact call that can be heard over long distances. Elaborate greeting rituals are accompanied by twittering and whining. Both males and females babysit the young and provide food for them. The hunting members of the pack return to the den where they regurgitate meat for the nursing female and pups. Although the litters are large, very few pups survive. Sometimes the dens are flooded, or the pups die from exposure or disease. When pack numbers are reduced, hunting is not as efficient, and adults may not bring back sufficient food for the pups. In some cases, more pups survive in packs where there are more helpers.]]> 2022-01-31 16:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/melloring/sial5yqdjqh38239/wish/2021604156 Nicholas- Africa https://padlet.com/melloring/sial5yqdjqh38239/wish/2023615344 The Pangolin is an endangered species located in Asia and Africa's forests and grasslands.

And has sharp scales so it does not get eaten. WWF is working in Asia and Africa to protect pangolins and other species from wildlife crime. We are actively trying to reduce the demand for illegal wildlife products in countries like China and Vietnam. We are also helping governments mount a strong defense against the poaching crisis. And WWF is lobbying for strong national laws and stronger enforcement to make certain wildlife crime pays.

This includes a canine, two incisors, three molars as well as three premolars on both sides of the jaw (lower side). The bite force of a female adult was calculated to be around 1,800 pounds (900 kg) and the hippo continuously sharpen by grinding. Hippos are aggressive and are considered very dangerous. They have large teeth and tusks that they use for fighting off threats including humans. Sometimes their young fall victim to adult hippos' tempers. During a fight between two adults, if a young hippo is caught in the middle, they can be seriously hurt or even crushed. 
Hippos love water which is why the Greeks named them the ''river horse''. Hippos spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun.
