Conservation in Senegal's Niokolo Koba National Park

[@ethanrobinson3106]

This national park is a remarkable place for me to travel and see lions, leopards, wild dogs, forest elephants, Sudanese and forest buffaloes, giant elands, baboons, chimpanzees, warthogs, roan antelopes, kob antelopes, red-river hogs, hippos, honey badgers, crocs, mongooses, guineafowls, bees, egrets, pelicans and caracals that called the park home

Do lion hunt chimpanzee in this park

[@simgoughgough]

Are there no cheetah here?

[@ethanrobinson3106]

Ohh there were cheetahs in Senegal long ago sadly 😥 because of lack of prey species, habitat losses, poaching, people smuggling cubs, illegal livestock grazing and encounter with other west african carnivores like lions, wild dogs, leopards and the engraving spotted hyenas they are now sadly extinct in the country

@@ethanrobinson3106 that's sad are there plans to bring them back? Or is the prey base not enough? They have been reintroduced to the zambeze Delta 🙂thank you for replying

[@ethanrobinson3106]

@@simgoughgoughno worries and unfortunately Senegal doesn't have enough prey species for cheetahs to hunt and it will be very difficult for Senegalese to reintroduce cheetahs in the country

@@ethanrobinson3106 thank you 🙂

⁠@@simgoughgough I think that within 20 years we will be able to reintroduce it we must wait for the increase in prey, which has been increasing for 5 years
