Golden jackals with sandy touch like to live in open, bushy and grassy places, while other jackals named as side stripped prefers waterways and dense grassland. They have unique styled strip on their body with the dark color and white spot on tail. Other type of jackals, known as black-blacked can be recognized by the shiny and healthy black hair on their body and tail with black spot.

Let’s talk about some of interesting facts related to African Elephant Adaptations.
Habitat
The places where an elephant can survive easily are bush, forests etc. Due to the reduction of green plants and logging activities, the natural habitats of elephant are diminishing day by day. Thus steps must be taken in order to provide the habitat that they deserve.
Food Required
As the body of an Elephants is quite big and huge, thus it requires large amount of food in order to migrate and survive. The minimum diet of an elephant is around 100 to 12 pounds per day.
So, proper care and protection must be taken in order to make this species survive for years and years.

Vervet monkey or simply Vervet is a small to large monkey that are found throughout most of the East and Southern Africa from Ethiopia and Somalia south to the South Africa. They are also found inhabiting Savanna lands and mountains even at height of up to 4000 meters from sea level.
Adult male Vervet Monkey ranges in size from 45-85 cm and weighs 3.5-7.5 kg. Females range from 40-60 cm in length and weigh 2.5-5.5 kg. Length of the tail of both males and females can range from 50-115 cm.

In Kenya and South Africa, they are classified as vermin, as they often destroy large amounts of crops. They live in a group of 15-20 animals.

Elephant Shrew or Jumping Shrew is a small insectivorous mammal native to Africa. Elephant shrews are not related to shrews. They are widely distributed across southern parts of Africa. Although very uncommon but Elephant shrews can be found in any habitats from the Namib deserts to boulder-strewn outcrops in South Africa to thick forests. They were first discovered in Loxton, Northern Cape Province in South Africa.
Elephant shrews vary in size from about 100-300 mm long and with a weight of 50-500 grams. They are quadrupedal with mouse-like tails and rather long legs proportionate to their size. Size of the trunk varies from one species to other however; they are capable of twisting it in search of food. Lifespan of elephant shrews is around 2-3 years. They feed on insects and other small creatures such as beetles, spiders, worms, ants and termites. They also eat seeds and some green shoots. They are very active, wary, well camouflaged and difficult to trap. They stay well hidden and thus it is rare to spot an elephant shrew.

Pictures of African Animals Dugong and Dugong Informations
Dugong is a large marine mammal, which is one of the four living species of the family Sirenia. The closest modern relative of Dugong is Steller’s Sea Cow, which was hunted to extinction in 18th century. Dugong is the strictly marine herbivorous mammal. Dugong is often hunted for its meat and oil. In many parts of the world, hunting of Dugong has cultural significance. Besides large-scale hunting by humans, due to its long lifespan (70 years) and slow rate of reproductions, many populations of Dugong are becoming extinct.
Dugong has a fusiform body with no dorsal fins or hindlimbs. Instead, they possess paddle-like forelimbs, which are used to maneuver themselves. They can be easily distinguished by their fluked and dolphin-like tail. The skull and teeth are also unique. Dugong weighs anywhere between 250-900 kg. Dugong is heavily dependent upon seagrasses for its subsistence and thus is restricted to the coastal habitats. Large Dugong concentrations can be typically found in wide, shallow and protected areas such as bays, mangrove channels and the lee sides of inshore islands.
