• With ears like these…""It ain\t easy keeping secrets from this cat
• Although these critters lead solitary lives in the wild, they\ve had a long history with humans.""You\ve heard of bird-hunting dogs? This here\s the kitty equivalent
• When night falls, this cat leaps to staggering heights to feed her kittens.""Guess who else is coming to dinner?
• These cats range across the dry steppes and grasslands of several continents.""You\ll find this one in a wildlife sanctuary of a sub-Saharan country

• This scenic bend captures just a small part of the longest river on the continent.""Where is this waterway?
• Conservation efforts to keep this river healthy are on the rise, because native animals and plants are threatened.""Who wouldn\t want to save this local resident?
• Need a bit of the Deep South while you\re Down Under?""Climb aboard one of the paddle steamers here
• The river isn\t just part of the popular national park that runs along its banks.""See from the air how it also provides rich soil for farmland
