Fauna (Native Wildlife)

Large mammals have disappeared from the western part of the country because of human development like elephants, antelopes, lions, panthers, cheetahs, and jackals. They can still be found in Niokolo Koba National Park in the eastern part of the country. Warthogs, bunnies, and monkeys can also be found in Senegal. There are many reptiles in Senegal like pythons and cobras. Crocodiles, hippopotamuses, and turtles are found in the rivers.
