Dromedaries populate the area for one good reason: Somalia is the foremost dromedary-breeding country in the world . Before the war, there were many lions, elephants, hyenas, foxes, leopards, giraffes and zebras. War and drought have settled in the region, driving away monkeys, dik-diks (small antelopes) and warthongs - some still live around Moqdisho. But hippopotami and crocodiles still live along rivers Juba and Shebelle. There are several species of venomous snakes. South of Gelib, the future national park of Lag Badana is home to several monkeys, gazelles and birds.
