Africa is the second largest continent after Eurasia. The fauna of Africa is extremely rich and diverse, which is due to the huge area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe mainland and its location in several climatic zones at once. Africa is also the hottest continent on our planet, so many animals that inhabit its territory have learned to adapt well to harsh living conditions. The African continent is home to various kinds of animals. Animals, birds, reptiles, and insects are distributed throughout the mainland. All of them differ from each other and are adapted to the natural conditions in which they live. There are three large African deserts in Africa: the Sahara, the Namib and the Kalahari. They seem lifeless, but many insects, reptiles, birds and mammals find shelter here, which appear only at night to hunt and get food. In addition, there are surprisingly many amphibians, although they only breed in water.
