Below I have created a chart of the most sighted Herons in South Africa. South Africa shares several species with the UK, mainly the Grey Heron, The Little and Great Egret and a few Cattle Egret. What Herons do you have near you?

Bovids are a large and diverse family of hoofed mammals that includes antelopes, cattle, goats, sheep, buffalo, and many of Africa’s most iconic grazing species. They are characterised by permanent, unbranched horns (present in both sexes in many species), cloven hooves, and a ruminant digestive system that allows them to efficiently process tough vegetation. They occupy an enormous range of habitats—from open savannas and deserts to mountains and forests—and show remarkable variation in size, behaviour, and social structure. Despite this diversity, all bovids share a common evolutionary theme: they are highly adapted herbivores built for endurance, efficiency, and survival in environments where predators and seasonal food shortages shape their lives.

What are the Specie name for these owls!

Lions are large social cats native to sub‑Saharan Africa and one of the most iconic predators in the world. Unlike most felines, they live in structured family groups called prides, which typically include related females, their offspring, and a coalition of males. Lions are powerful, cooperative hunters, relying on teamwork, strength, and strategy to bring down prey ranging from antelope to buffalo. They are built for bursts of speed and explosive force rather than endurance, and their behaviour is shaped by territory, hierarchy, and the constant balance between conserving energy and defending resources. With their deep roars, complex social bonds, and role as apex predators, lions are central to the ecology and cultural identity of the African landscapes they inhabit.

This chart is a clean, modern visual guide to bird identification, created by Clarity Compass: The Wildlife Lens. It groups birds into 12 universal categories—such as raptors, songbirds, shorebirds, and parrots—using stylized illustrations and clear labels. Designed for quick recognition and broad accessibility, it helps birders and educators distinguish major bird types at a glance, making it ideal for field reference, classroom use, or community sharing.
