Addax
This antelope is perfectly adapted for the life in desert and semi-desert areas. Its large splayed hooves help walk on sand. Addax obtains sufficient moisture from its diet, which consists of grasses, herbs, leaves and small bushes. The main predators are lions, leopards and hyenas. Addax live 10 years in the wild and up to 25 years in captivity.
Aoudad
Aoudads, known also as Barbery Sheep, are exceptionally well adapted to
the arid rocky and mountain habitats. Their jumping power helps them
clear a 6.6 feet (2 m) obstacle from a standing start. even newborns
are able to climb rocky terrain within hours of birth. Their diet
consists of sparse grasses, bushes, acacia and lichens. Aoudads live 10
years in the wild and 20 years in captivity.
Baboon ~ Yellow
The Yellow Baboon is one of 5 species of baboons. They are active during the day and spends most of its time on the ground foraging. The group size of the Yellow Baboon depends on food availability and the level of predation in the area. They mostly feed on grasses and insects, but their diet also includes seeds, fruits and small mammals. They are opportunist feeders and will eat whatever foods are most abundant.
Yellow Baboons can live 30 years in the wild and up to 45 years in captivity.
Camel ~ Dromedary
Dromedary
Camels were domesticated 4000 B.C. for travel, meat, milk and running,
and became extinct in the wild around 2000 years ago. They live 40
years. Dromedaries have no known predators. They feed on leaves,
grasses and shrubs in deserts and steppes. Being thirsty, dromedaries
can drink up to 100 litres of water in 10 minutes, what would be lethal
to any other animal.
Cattle ~ Ankole-Watusi
Ankole-Watusi have the largest horns of any cattle breed, sometimes growing to a length of 5 feet (1.5 m). They are an ancient hybrid of long-horned, domestic cattle from Egypt and longhorn Zebu from Pakistan and India. They live on grasslands and feed on grasses and leaves. Their main predators are big cats. Ankole-Watusi cattle live 20 years.
Stork ~ Marabou
This stork inhabits dry open savannas near lakes and rivers. Its diet consists of carrion, insects, fish and small mammals. In turn, marabou is a prey for larger carnivores. In addition to hollow leg bones, marabou storks have hollow toe bones. For one of the largest flying birds (males stand 1.5 m tall and weighs 9 kg, females generally smaller), this is an important adaptation for flight. Marabou live 25 years or more.
