Cats Across Continents

Africa |
|
Africa is
the
second largest continent, and covers 22% of the world's land mass. Approximately
90% of the land is no more than 500 feet above sea level. The Sahara Desert
makes up almost 25% of its total area. The huge areas of
Savanna to the south and east of the African continent are home to large herds
of roaming herbivores and provide a substantial prey source for the wild cats.
