Nigeria has a varied landscape with……

Hills and Mountains in the South East,

rainforest and savannah in the southwest and middle,

and Sahara’s in the north.

Nigeria can be divided into three climate regions, the far south, the far north, and the in-between…..

The south has a tropical rainforest climate, where annual rainfall is 60 to 80 inches a year.

The north is almost desert-like climate, where rain is less than 20 inches per year.

The rest of the country is savannah, and rainfall is between 20 and 60 inches per year.

Because of farmland and population growth, Nigeria's few remaining elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards game are generally found inside major reserves. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles, however, are still common in the large rivers.

Birds, including species that migrate seasonally between Africa and Europe, are also abundant.

Smaller animals such as antelope, monkeys, jackals, and hyenas are more common.
