Meet the real animals

I am a Kudo

Kudus live in eastern and southern Africa, wherever there is woody growth to provide food and shelter. They eat shoots and leaves from a variety of plants including wild watermelons and other fruit for the liquid. There are two kinds of Kudus the lesser and the greater Kudu. Both have stripes and spots on the body, and most have a white V-shaped stripe hair on the forehead between the eyes. Magestic male Kudus have long, spiral horns that come in handy when they have to defend themselves.
 

I am a Hippo

Hippos live in Africa. Although they are land mammals, they spend most of their time in rivers, lakes, and swamps in Hippo groups called herds, pods or bloats. Water helps to keep them cool. Even though they are extremely large and have short legs, they are great swimmers and can outrun humans. They love to graze mostly on water plants and grass.

I am a Warthog

Warthogs are found in most of Africa. They resemble pigs, but their short, stout bodies are covered in sparse bristles, with longer bristles from the top of the head down the spine to the middle of the back, ending with a tuft of bristles on its tail. They are mainly grazers and kneel to eat short grasses. They use their snouts and tusks to dig for bulbs, tubers, and roots. During the dry season, they can go without water for months. They sleep in holes, dug out by other animals, mostly aardvarks. And they love taking sand baths and wallowing in mud. ​

I am a Wildebeest

The Wildebeest is sometimes called a Gnu. There are 2 types of wildebeest, the Black Wildebeest and the Blue Wildebeest. The blue wildebeest is not blue. Both tend to be brown to darker brown almost black and the occasional white wildebeest. They have large heads with a long cow-like face, a shaggy mane, a lighter colored pointed beard and sharp curved horns. Wildebeest travel in large herds that migrate in search of food. They are grazers and eat mainly grasses and succulent plants. ​

I am an Aardvark 

The Aardvark is a nocturnal animal that sleeps in a tunnel dug out with its long snout and sharp claws during the day. Its coat is thin, but it has a tough skin with short hairs on its head and tail. At night, it forages for food with its long, sticky tongue which is designed for scooping up ants and termites but it especially enjoys aardvark cucumber.
