Equator's Wild Secrets - Africa

The African continent crosses the equator for two thousand five hundred miles. The animal species that live here are as varied as the African landscapes. Giant herbivores and natural predators dominate the drylands, while monkeys thrive in the rainforests. Here, floods and droughts alternate year after year, but animals have evolved to adapt to these harsh conditions in order to make the most of their natural environment. Equatorial Africa is a true melting pot of evolution.
