Africa has strange animals, while some look like elephants yet they are not actually elephants the aardwolf is neither a wolf but a small mammal, that looks similar to the most dangerous animal in the African savanna as far as the lion is concerned. Just like the striped hyena, the aardwolf is the only surviving species of the subfamily Protelinae. Getting amazing images of these beautiful animals needs a safari to the eastern parts if Africa and northeastern Africa. For survival in the African plains, the aardwolf feeds on insects.
Addax

also the screw horn antelope

The Addax (addax nasomaculatus) is an amazing animal. While some call it the screw horn antelope it weighs up to 300 pounds. When the African weather changes during the hot season the addax coat is almost white and changes to grayish brown in the cold season. The addax antelopes have white coat on their legs, hips, belly, ears and facial markings. The addax is critically endangered in the wild due to unregulated hunting. An African safari through the Sahara desert might as well complete your list of the African animals in the Sahara desert The addax is one of the rarest wild mammals in the world
Addaxes can live up to 25 years in captivity.


Addra gazelle

Where in the world do you have the list of the tallest animals and the most dangerous animals? An animal safari without seeing the big five and the big cats is not enough without seeing the Addra gazelle which is the tallest and the largest gazelle in the world. They have a small head compared to their body, with narrow muzzle eyes. They have reddish-chestnut neck, back and flanks with distinctive white spot just below the throat. The horns are curved flat to the back with upturned tips in both sexes.

As the most vicious animal in the world the awesome lions are the famous big cats. Little lion cubs grow to make amazing animals images of dangerous cats with mane. People going on an African safari have made good lion hunting videos about the lion as the most dangerous game in the African savannah lands and mostly Kenya. Whether it’s the babies’ lion or samba the lion cub when one asks what is the deadliest animal in the world? The true facts about lions are always revealed in amazing lion images whether lions are playing or when different lions are hunting together. With a lot of animal predators and animal competition among the different groups of lion pride, the little lions always face competition and many lion cubs are killed by the big lions when they take over the pride. The African lions are considered to be the deadliest lions in the world. As the lifespan for a lion in the wild is almost 15 years, its always difficult to exactly know which is the biggest lion in the wild due to many lion facts which have not yet been documented. The lion tops the animal list of Africa as the most dangerous animal in the world and one of the most beautiful animals in the wild as well
