African elephant

The largest land animal on Earth, African elephants can reach 7,000 kg and inhabit sub-Saharan savannas, forests, and wetlands. Highly intelligent with complex social structures led by matriarchs, they communicate through infrasound, rumbles, and touch. As ecosystem engineers, they shape habitats by uprooting trees, digging waterholes, and dispersing seeds. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to ivory poaching and habitat loss.

Al nimr

Highly adaptable big cat with the widest geographic range of any felid, found across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia in habitats from rainforest to desert. Solitary and largely nocturnal, leopards are powerful climbers that cache prey in trees. Melanistic individuals — black panthers — are common in dense forest populations. Listed as Vulnerable globally.
