The black-crowned Crane




The black-crowned crane is the official animal of Nigeria, endemic to the country and thought to be signs of prosperity. Two different species of black-crowned cranes live in Nigeria. The subspecies on the western end of the country is significantly threatened by loss of habitat.

The Cross River gorilla is a critically endangered subspecies of the western gorilla. It was named a new species in 1904 by Paul Matschie, a mammalian taxonomist working at the Humboldt University Zoological Museum in Berlin, but its populations were not systematically surveyed until 1987

Animals in the zoo you meant to type
The animals are home!

Make I spread my mat here

The few surviving ones. Please, don't reveal thier locations.

Niger Delta red colobus monkeys


Niger Delta red colobus monkeys – Only about 200 of these monkeys are left in the world. A conservatory opened in October 2020 at Apoi Creek Forest to protect the largest troop of Niger Delta red colobus monkeys from going extinct.


Dear Dominique, could you get something done about the bots frequent bans, leaving me with incomplete Articles ..Thank you .

The Savanah Nigerian Elephants



Nigeria has two different species of elephant: the forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) and the savanna or bush elephant (Loxodonta africana). Forest elephants are now classified as critically endangered, following an 86 percent population decline over the last 30 years, while the savanna elephant is now classified as endangered, with populations having decreased at least 60 percent over the last 50 years.
Hundreds of thousands of elephants once roamed across Nigeria. However as a result of poaching for their ivory and habitat loss, it is estimated that fewer than 400 remain today. Elephants are on the very edge of extinction in Nigeria.
Please stop poaching!!!

Forest Elephants


Forest elephants – These elephants live at five different sites in Southern Nigeria, including the Omo Forests in Ogun State, the Okomu National Park, the Cross River National Park, Idanre Forests and Osse River Park, and on Andoni Island.

Evolution made this happen

Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees – These are the most threatened and least distributed of all chimpanzees, and you can see these unique animals at Gashaka-Gumti National Park and Ngel Nyaki Forest Reserve.

The Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti) is a subspecies of the common chimpanzee which inhabits the rainforest along the border of Nigeria and Cameroon. Male Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees can weigh up to 70 kilos with a body length of up to 1.2 metres and a height of 1.3 metres. Females are significantly smaller. Like the nominate subspecies, the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee has been classified as Endangered by the IUCN, indicating a high risk of extinction in the near future.

African-Nigerian lions


Lions one of the world’s best known and most charismatic species, which are found in Nigeria, other parts of West and Central Africa, are on the brink of extinction.

A report by UK-based conservation group LionAid, said as few as 645 lions remain in the wild in western and central Africa. It says lions are extinct in 25 African nations and virtually extinct in 10, and it estimates that 15,000 wild lions remain on the continent as a whole, compared with about 200,000 30 years ago, with as few as 34 remaining in the whole of Nigeria.

Although lions are classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, lion populations in West Africa are particularly small and fragmented and have been recently classified as critically endangered.! Shame really
To Zoo Owners : Treat our lions better more than half of the pictures of Nigerian lions in Zoos are Highly starved and lack their magestic appearance. Fucking feed the Lions!!!

Preuss's red colobus

Preuss’s Colobus is a red colobus primate species endemic to the Cross-Sanaga Rivers ecoregion. An important population occurs in Korup National Park, Southwest Province, Cameroon, but the species' distribution is localized (groups are frequently encountered near the main tourist camps). The species is considered present in adjacent Cross River National Park - Oban Division in Nigeria and hunter reports suggest that few groups remain in Nkwende Hills and Nta Ali Forest Reserve in the broader Korup region. A population is also present in Ebo forest, Littoral Province of Cameroon.

Leopards


Leopards still live in Nigeria. Having said that, due to habitat destruction and overhunting by humans, leopards have disappeared from many parts of West Africa where they used to be abundant, and West Africa is the region of Africa where Nigeria is located. The leopard’s current survival status in Nigeria is extant according to the latest official figures compiled by wildlife experts and researchers,

This Leopard was thirsty and wandered to the nearest village and was given water who watched in awe

Night camera captures Nigerian leopards

Leopards are notoriously secretive and highly elusive animals by nature, and usually like to stay hidden from sight. Leopards are also the supreme masters at using their spotted coats as the perfect form of camouflage when moving among thick grass and vegetation in the daytime. In addition to that, being a big cat, the leopard is typically more active at night when most people are sleeping, so it is very rarely seen - even in other countries where they are very common. Therefore it is very hard to see or spot a leopard in the wild in general anyway, no matter how many of them are around. Another important point is that wildlife tourism is not a major money-earner in West African countries like Nigeria, so the monitoring and management of many animal species populations in Nigeria is heavily understudied and low on reliable data.

Based on all the above stated factors and current evidence available, some wildlife experts and researchers now agree that it is very possible and plausible that there are more leopards in Nigeria than initially believed.

Nigerian Puff Adder


Puff adder – This unique snake is the deadliest across Africa, with approximately 32,000 people dying across the continent yearly from its bite.

Well the irony , the Nigerian puff adder is not endangered , Good to know

THE NIGERIAN HIPPOPOTAMUS



In Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, the IUCN estimates that only 100 hippos remain. They occur in protected areas, such as national parks and game reserves, and outside protected areas in estuarine habitats, inland rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.


These battle tanks are very territorial. Across Africa, about 3,000 people are killed by hippos annually.

If you see get to see one by mistake maybe just crossing the road minding your bussines, checking your bet slip , don’t bother running , don’t bother checking the game if e cut , just count the seconds remaining to see your good lord !!!

Mosquitoes


Mosquitoes – Across Africa, approximately 1 million people die annually from a mosquito bite, and another 70 million get sick with malaria or yellow fever.

The mosquitoes comprised Anopheles gambiae, as the most abundant 553 (43. 3%), followed by Culex pipiens, 336 (26.8%), Anopheles arabiensis with 190 (15. 1%) and lastly Anopheles funestus 175 (13.9%). There was a significant difference in the relative abundance of mosquitoes with respect to season

The Jos Plateau indigobird (Vidua maryae) is a species of bird in the family Viduidae. It is endemic to Nigeria. It lays its eggs in the nest of the rock firefinch which is also restricted to Nigeria. Because of their inability to incubate their eggs, they lay their eggs in the nest of the rock firefinch and then take away the exact number of laid eggs from the host bird in order to avoid suspicion from the host bird . After hatching they exhibit dominance against the hatchlings of the rock firefinchers. Their breeding seasons are all round the year but more pronounced during the cold Harmattan period between July and December.

The Ibadan Malimbus


It is endemic to Nigeria, where it is known only from the southwestern part of the country, including the city of Ibadan (in Oyo) which it is named after. It was first discovered in 1951 and was common at one point. Forest clearing made it rare.

The bird is about 20 centimeters long. The male is black with a red head and breast. The female has smaller red areas.

The bird forages in pairs or small groups, sometimes alongside the red-headed malimbe (Malimbus rubricollis). It lives in forest and woodland habitat, including degraded areas.
