L’hippopotame
L’hippopotame est végétarien et se nourrit presque exclusivement
d’herbe. La journée, il passe le plus clair de son temps dans l’eau
et ne regagne la terre ferme que la nuit pour aller se repaître de
verdure. Malgré sa silhouette ronde comme un tonneau, il n’a
pas un gramme de graisse sous la peau. Lorsqu’il bâille en
ouvrant sa gueule immense, il est vraiment très impressionnant.
Malheureusement, on a chassé l’hippopotame en grand nombre
à cause de ses longues canines, souvent utilisées pour remplacer
l’ivoire. En Afrique, il a ainsi pratiquement disparu de la plupart
du territoire.
On ne le trouve plus aujourd’hui qu’au sud du Sahara.
Ce colosse a la vie longue : 40 ans dans son milieu naturel, et
jusqu’à 50 ans en parc animalier.
L’orang-outan
L’orang-outan vit dans les forêts tropicales de Bornéo et de
Sumatra. Contrairement aux chimpanzés et aux gorilles, il vit en
solitaire.
Ce grand singe habite surtout dans les arbres et y passe aussi la
nuit. Chaque soir, il s’y construit un nouveau nid douillet fait de
branches et de feuillage. Il se nourrit principalement de fruits,
mais également de noix, de plantes, d’écorce, de fourmis et de
termites.
En milieu protégé, l’orang-outan peut atteindre 50 ans. Ailleurs, il
est souvent victime de la chasse et sa vie est aussi menacée par
la destruction de son environnement naturel.
Traduit mot à mot, son nom signifie « homme de la forêt ».
