Not So Gentle Giant
Predominantly found in central Africa, gorillas are best treated with caution. Although generally gentle and leaf-munching, gorillas will attack and cause serious injury if they feel threatened. An adult male can reach up to a weight of 400 lbs – no joke when accompanied by powerful hands and sharp teeth.

Tse Tse Fly Away
Inhabiting all of tropical Africa, the Tse Tse fly is known for its bite. A parasite, it needs the blood of a vertebrate (i.e. people, buffalo…) to survive. They won’t help you burn fat, but they will give you a nasty disease. They are a major ‘vector’ (or pathway) for the transmission of various ailments and diseases, among them sleeping sickness in humans and animals alike.
