Magical Kenya

Kenya Beasts - Introduction Kenya is a country with contrasting habitats and scenery, from the long stretches of Indian Ocean coast in the East to the Western rainforest and from the Northern deserts through the central highland forest and down to the rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara in the South. This diverse geography means that it has an equally diverse ecology with a vast range of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. While it is possibly best known for its big cats it is also home to a range of other animals and on these pages we have tried to show a number of Kenya's "beasts". Much of our time in Kenya is spent watching and photographing the birds and we have a sister site Kenya Birds which provides extensive information on Kenya's fascinating bird life. If you're trying to find information on a particular bird, animal, location or anything else you can search both this site and Kenya Birds with a single search.

African Animals List Africa is a unique land of varied traditions, culture, people, languages and geography. It is the second largest continent of the world. It is also the second most populous continent after Asia. The Mediterranean sea surrounds Africa to the north, the Red Sea and Suez canal to the northeast, the southwest surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the west bordering the Atlantic Ocean. The equator passes through Africa making it the only continent that stretches from the northern temperate to the southern temperate zones. We have all mostly seen wild animals as zoo inhabitants or in television documentaries, but never in their natural habitat. The list of African animals is very long and in this Buzzle article I have tried to cover as many animals possible.
