From one land to the other
Terrestrial species adapt as well. On the first floor, the elephant heads the caravan of animals from the African savanna. Large mammals and their predators follow closely. Buffalos, bubals, gnus, giraffes and zebras, hyenas, wild dogs and cheetahs - guess who eats who.
After the savanna, it’s off to South America. Perhaps you’ll recognise the tenants of the tall metal sculpture which reproduces the layers of the rainforest. At the bottom are the tapir, anteater, armadillo, anaconda and jaguar, and higher up are the sloths, the blue macaw and the Margay cat.
In other latitudes, the Saharan animals (dromedary, gazelle and Fennec fox) seem to have nothing in common with those of the Arctic and the Antarctic (polar bear, emperor penguin and Greenland seal). Apart from their extreme living conditions!
