Animals in Sudan
Sudan is one of the most diverse countries in the world with almost 200 ethnic groups and over 900 languages as well as dialects although some of the smaller ethnic groups have disappeared mainly because of migration. When smaller ethnic groups moved or migrated to other parts of the country, they become part of the dominant language or dialect in that part of the country, and slowly disappeared.
Most parts of Sudan are in a desert, and baboons can live in different kinds of climates, in the desert as well as in the grassland. Other types of animals such as antelopes, barbary sheep, nubian ibex, are also found in the Sudan desert, but Sudan has a range of climates where different types of animals can live and survive. The four species are only found in the Sudan desert where certain types of animals can not survive. The four species are endangered with just very few specimens still left in the wild.
In addition, Sudan's forest reserves provided habitat for bongo also an antelope, giant forest hogs, red river hogs, forest elephants, chimpanzees, as well as forest monkeys. burton gerbril, freshwater fish, batterfly leptomyrina sudanica, cat snake telescopus gezirae, etc. are only found in Sudan and nowhere else in the world., which makes them special and unique.
