White Rhino
Check out this photo of a rhinoceros! Isn’t she beautiful?! She’s living a happy life in her habitat in South Africa.
An animal’s habitat is the natural surroundings in which it lives. In South Africa, as in the United States, the habitats are as beautiful and as varied as the animals themselves. Look at my photos of real animals in their habitats. Why does an animal live in a particular habitat? What will happen if people decide to build houses, or a big mall, or a freeway there?

To see other animals and their habitats, click on the links for the animals I photographed while in the country of Tanzania (in the right sidebar of this blog), or visit the other South Africa pages.
That’s so cool when you went to Africa for the first time unknowing that the animals are so colse by were you scared ? What was the most interesting animal and animal habitat that you saw.
Well, first I did my homework before arriving, so I knew about the animals and how to enjoy them while still staying safe. I think the most interesting animal is the elephant because it demonstrates much ability to think and make decisions. Every habitat that has wild animals is an interesting habitat!
