Gabon has alot of animals, but one stuck out at me. The Animal is the Drill. It is a small tailed forest baboon. The Drill is an endangere species. It is found usually found in forest. It has a diet of fruit, seeds, fungi, roots, insects and small animals. The Drill is semi-terrestrail, which means it mainly feeds on the ground. The Drills ussually live in groups of 20, including the male, several female, and their young.
In 1995 the Drill had the hieghest conservation priority among all other animals in Africa. Some hunters in Africa say that the group size and density is decreasing. From the 1970s- to 2004 they where endangered. In 1999 there were less than 3,000 left. They are now just coming out of endangered section.
