Essential African animal wishlist

We have continental/regional wishlist about the Central American and European animals, but we go to the continent, which have the most well-known wildlife and the most overrepresented in the game... THIS IS AFRICA!!!

We have a plenty of African animals in the game, but there is some species which are missing from the game. Let's show for the Frontier which animals from the Black Continent are missing in the game with our wishlists!

RULES:
  1. All users may submit maximum 30 species, but could be less, if you want.
  2. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates are allowed.
  3. The species could be habitat or exhibit/WE animals.
  4. The animals at least should be native in Africa (including Madagascar and the other surrounding islands of the Indian ocean, too).
  5. Only living animals, extinct ones are not OK!

The three leading animals are groups (Crowned cranes, Chameleons and Porcupines), but I am suprised that not so many persons vote for the Secretary bird, however this is a very popular African bird.

Also, I modified the rules, so the maximum number of the animals are 20!
