This colorful bird is widely spread within sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, the lilac-breasted roller perches in high trees, and other lookout points where it can spot prey at ground level. They prefer more open areas, and for the most part, they stay away from treeless places.
Their bright feathers are conspicuous with deep lilac breast feathers.
Leafy Seadragon
This charismatic species can be found along the southern and western coasts of Australia, this leafy seadragon has long leaflet protrusions coming from all over its body, which look amazing but also serves as camouflage.
They don't have a specialized pouch characteristic of male seahorses. Instead, they carry their eggs under the tail.
Dik-Dik
Meet the miniature antelope that's so adorable, they named it twice! They are found in the bushlands of southern and eastern Africa, dik-dik is the name for four different species of small antelope.
As herbivores, they are harmless and their name comes from the unique alarm call that the females commonly make, which sounds like a wheezing and whistling “dik-dik.”
Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko
The Satanic leaf-tailed gecko is a type of gecko that is found on the island of Madagascar. With such an unusual name, we're all wondering where they got it from. This little gecko got his name from the Belgian biologist George Boulenger back in 1888.
Their flattened tail appears to look like a leaf, helping the animal blend in within the environment.
Okapi
This incredibly rare mammal is native to Central Africa, mainly residing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite their zebra-like stripes, they are actually more closely related to giraffes.
The Okapi's chocolate coat is a reddish-brown shade, much in contrast with the white horizontal stripes and rings on the legs and white ankles.
