The continent is home to the world’s tallest animal, giraffes. People can also find crocodiles(鳄鱼), elephants, zebras and hippos(河马) there.
Africa is great to visit. About 60 percent of Africa is made up of drylands and deserts. The most famous one is the Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro(乞力马扎罗山) in east Africa stands 5895metres into the sky. It is the highest point in the continent. Though it lies in the tropics(热带), it is covered with ice and snow year-round. The famous East Africa’s Great Rift Valley(东非大裂谷) goes through the land of Africa. As the longest rift on Earth, it is easy to see from the space.
The continent is famous for its hundreds of ethnic(种族) groups. The three largest ethnic groups are the Hausa, Lgbo and Yoruba. They are all in west Africa. West Africa is also rich in natural resources like cocoa, diamonds and coffee. Cote d’lvoire(科特迪瓦) is the world’s biggest producer of cocoa.
Although many places in Africa are poor, this is not the whole picture. South Africa is the richest country in Africa. Some parts of the country are wealthy. Modern and well-developed roads are common everywhere. You can also spend a day in a large shopping mall or taste delicious seafood in a restaurant.
