Peters' elephantnose fish are native to the rivers of West and Central Africa, in particular the lower Niger River basin, the Ogun River basin and in the upper Chari River. It prefers muddy, slowly moving rivers and pools with cover such as submerged branches. It is a dark brown to black in colour, laterally compressed (averaging 23–25 cm), with a rear dorsal fin and anal fin of the same length. Its caudal or tail fin is forked. It has two stripes on its lower pendicular. Its most striking feature, as its names suggest, is a trunk-like protrusion on the head.

Galagoides_kumbirensis

 Galagoides_kumbirensis   is a species of dwarf galago native to Angola, and was named after western Angolan Kumbira Forest. Though 36 individuals of the Angolan dwarf galago were identified in September 2013, it was declared as a new species in 2017, and is now the nineteenth species of dwarf galago to be identified.   Previously unrecognized species of terrestrial mammals are being dis- covered at an ever-increasing rate as researchers expand their activities into new areas of forests and woodlands, and conduct extensive sur- veys   Which contradicts you know everything which is it. you explored everything and know at which rate species are dying or you havent and are still discovering not only new species but the actual population of said species that claim to exist. As you can see there is a lot of need for real scientists in the west and whole lot less lazy activists.

Bumblebee

 Bumblebee A bumblebee (or bumble bee, bumble-bee, or humble-bee) is any of over 250 species in the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini, though a few extinct related genera (e.g., Calyptapis) are known from fossils. They are found primarily in higher altitudes or latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, although they are also found in South America, where a few lowland tropical species have been identified. European bumblebees have also been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. Female bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals   They are generally very docile. They do not form swarms like other communal bees and they only sting when truly provoked.   Bumblebees are round and fuzzy; honeybees are smaller and thinner – it would be easy, in fact, to mistake them for wasps. ... Bumblebees are social, too, but not to the same extent. Where honeybees build hives, bumblebees live in
