Assorted Wild Life Animals The set includes five animals from the African savannah: a cheetah cub, a giant pangolin, a flamingo, a giraffe calf and an African elephant calf. Africa has an incredible variety of different animal species. The hot savannahs of southern and eastern Africa are home to elephants, giraffes and dangerous big cats such as cheetahs. Giant pangolins live in the tropical rainforests of central Africa, while flamingos love fishing for crabs in big saltwater lakes.
