African Animals Gorillas are large, quiet, shy apes that live in Africa. They live in small groups (or bands) of 6-7 individuals, including one silverback (adult male), a few females, and their young. Because of loss of habitat, these majestic primates are on the verge of extinction. Anatomy: Gorillas have very long arms (the arms are longer than the legs), and a short, bulky body with a wide chest. They are covered with brownish hair on most of their body (except their fingers, palms, face, armpits, and bottoms of the feet). Gorillas have a very large head with a bulging forehead, a crest on top (larger on males), tiny ears, and small, dark-brown eyes. Gorillas have no tail. Gorillas range from 4.6-5.6 ft (1.4-1.7 m) tall. Diet: Gorillas are mostly herbivores, eating mostly plant material. Occasionally, gorillas eat termites and ants. An average adult male eats about 50 pounds of food a day. They rarely drink water.African Safari holiday adventures in Kenya &Tanzania I have been on a number of African Safari’s. Some I have organised my self using a hire rental car and the other with a tour company. There are lots of airlines that will get you to Africa, British Airways, South African Airways, Virgin Airlines to name just a few. To get cheaper tickets try to plan eleven months in advance. That is when long haul tickets are first released. The first batch are normally snapped up by travel agents like expideia.com or ebookers.com. Book with them. The later you leave it the more expensive the tickets become. When should you go. Autumn or spring is the best time if you are heading for South Africa as the grass and foliage is not to thick and you can see more game. For Kenya and Tanzania September to December. Organised Tanzania safaris will take you to Arushia National Park which is a game reserve in an old volcano and then head off down the scarp slope of the African Rift Valley and then up the other side to the famous Serengeti. You will more than likely spend a few nights under canvas as Tanzania has not built many Safari lodges. |
