Some of them might find you look more appetizing to them if you can catch up to them in the first place! African animals are some of the most interesting in the world, so if you do travel there you might get lucky and see a few of these. Truly a beautiful place for wildlife lovers.
This is a list of African mammals and I have not broken it down to different sub species, however I invite you to do a little more research into the ones you are interested in learning about.
Aardvark, African hare, African Wild Dog, Baboon, Bat, Bat-Eared Fox, Bongo, Bonobo, Buffalo, Bushbaby, Cheetah
Chimpanzee, Colombus Monkey, DikDik, Duikar, Dwarf Mongoose, Eland, Elephant, Elephant Shrew, Genet, Gerenuk, Giraffe, Grant's Gazelle, Hedgehog, Hartbeest, Hippopotamus, Hyena, Hyrax, Impala, Jackal, Kob, Kudo, Leopard, Lion, Mountain Gorilla, Oryx, Pangolin, Porcupine, Ratel, Roan Antelope, Rhinoceros, Sable, Serval, Sitatunga, Spring Hare, Thomson's Gazelle, Topi, Vervet Monkey, Warthog, Waterbuck, Wildebeast, Burchell's Zebra, Gravy's Zebra.
I hope I have listed them all, and fortunately there are some organizations like the African Wildlife Foundation which are dedicated to preserving and saving species which are endangered.This is greatly needed as Africa has already lost many species, man is the greatest threat known to wildlife.
As the saying goes, "you don't know what you have until you lose it". Are we responsible for the Extinction of these African mammals?
Algerian Wild Ass, Atlas Bear, Blue Antelope, Bubal Hartebeest, Canary Island Giant Rat, Cape Serval, Cape Warthog, Lava Mouse, Madagascan Dwarf Hippo, Madagascan Pygmy Hippo, North African Aurochs, North African Elephant, North African Serval, Quagga, Red Gazelle, Robert's Lechwe.
Interestingly enough, the extinction of these mammals corresponds with the appearance of Human civilization, but there is no way to prove that humans are directly responsible.
