CAPE BUFFALO (Nyati): They live in swamps, montane forests, flood plains and wet savanna areas. These animals are very sociable and live in large, mixed herds. They are non territorial. They are among the most dangerous animals in the world and can attack without being provoked.

WARTHOG (Ngiri): Warthogs avoid dense cover, preferring to live in the open grasslands and savanna. Females, or sows, live in clans where the animals are all related to each other. Males, however, prefer to live in bachelor herds. The warthog is actually a relative of the pig.

 

RHINOCEROS (Kifaru): The Black Rhinoceros sometimes live in the forest and other times in semi desert areas or wetlands. Sometimes they live alone and are territorial, while other times they live with others and are non territorial. Although they are herbivores they can be very dangerous if they feel threatened. The horn of a rhinoceros is made up of the same materials as your fingernails and hair.

WILDEBEEST (Nyumbu): They live in the open bush savanna and short-grass plains. Wildebeest alternate between living in one area and migrating to another area in very large groups depending upon the season.
