Random Facts about african animals
Safari animals aren’t just wild—they’re wonderfully weird too. Elephants can hear with their feet, giraffes nap for only 30 minutes a day, and zebras have unique stripe patterns like fingerprints. Cheetahs can’t roar, but they purr, and hippos secrete a natural red "sunscreen" that’s often called blood sweat. The savannah is full of surprises, and the more you learn, the wilder it gets!
