With Stanley’s help, it was possible for Belgium to colonize the central African country. Leopold II believed that a colony had to make money for the mother country. Unlike the other colonizing countries, he did not believe in investing in colonies to maintain them. For Leopold II, the end always justified the means, and the end was always money.
There are three species of zebra, and they occur in Africa: plains zebra, mountain zebra and Grevy's zebra. Of all the wild equines in the world today, only the plains zebra exists in large numbers (“Zebras: Natural History Notebooks”).Over millions of years all these zebra’s stripes have evolved to become more distinct for survival.

Way of Communicating There is a rich, fertile legacy of folklore from Africa. On this vast continent, folk tales and myths serve as a means of handing down traditions and customs from one generation to the next. The storytelling tradition has thrived for generations because of the absence of printed material. Folk tales prepare young people for life, as there are many lessons to be learned from the tales. Because of the history of this large continent, which includes the forceful transplanting of the people into slavery on other continents, many of the same folk tales exist in North America, South America, and the West Indies.

The cave drawings in the Chauvet Cave show a couple of horses looking in one direction and below the horses two rhinos fighting. They might have drawn rhinos because they are powerful animals and horses because they where a way of travel.
Big Foot Needs Big Home Les Schobert, the author of the article “Let the Zoo’s Elephants Go” spent more than thirty years taking care of elephants as a curator. After years living with wild animals, he started writing about the elements in Nation Zoo and the things that were happening to them. “Let the Zoo’s Elephants Go” was published on October 16, 2005 as an urgent call to Nation Zoo for freedom for elephants. In the article “Let the Zoo’s Elephants Go”, Schobert debated that Zoos must change the concept about keeping elephants in a small captivity and send them to a bigger place like sanctuary.
