Profile
This beautiful dragon-like lizard, endemic to the island of Grand Cayman and on the brink of extinction only ten years ago, has become a symbol of great pride for the island’s people.

Blue crane.
|
|
The blue crane is the national bird of South Africa, but in many areas populations have declined by up to 90% in the last 30 years, and are continuing to drop. Poisoning, either accidental or deliberate, is a threat, along with the replacement of the grassland habitats it prefers with timber plantations.
Red Fodey.
|
|
It is a common bird found in forest clearings, grasslands and cultivated areas. In Madagascar it is regarded as a pest to rice cultivation. It has been introduced to other areas of the Indian Ocean, included the Amirantes, Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius and Réunion.

Ploughshare tortoise
|
|
Known locally as 'angonoka', ploughshare tortoises are beautifully domed, big and slow moving reptiles... which is bad news for them, unfortunately. Young angonoka are brightly with coloured yellow and black/brown markings, and adults are a rich orange-brown colour. They take their name from the 'battering ram' type extension, used for fighting, on the lower part of their shell.
