African lions in the Serengeti. They prefer the open country where there is long grass for cover and game is plentiful (African Mammals, Second Floor, Section 13). Some of the numerous species of antelopes are exemplified by the greater kudu with spiraled horns, the gemsbok with its rapierlike horns, and the giant sable with gracefully curved horns. The Serengeti Plains group shows a mixture of hoofed animals in a natural gathering—zebras, eland, wildebeest, Thomson's gazelle, Grant's gazelle, topi, and Coke's hartebeest—sheltering under acacia trees to escape the midday sun. Mountain gorillas in their high humid habitat, okapis in the low rain forest, and bongo in bamboo forest are examples of the fauna of these regions. Lions, mountain nyala, and giant eland are shown in typical habitats in drier regions. The Nile group and the water hole group each show representative species congregating to drink, including giraffes, kob, zebras, waterbuck, lechwe, and roan antelope, as well as some that make their homes in or near water such as the sitatunga and hippopotamus. 110 Gorilla shown in a clearing of the dense rain forest of the Kivu Mountains (African Mammals, Second Floor, Section 13).
