Preamble

Not long ago in fact, on a geological scale, the gallery forest bordering the river valleys and savannah that allowed the great African wildlife to enter and remain in North Africa. The last major species to become extinct under the pressure of hunting there are no less than a century. It is a fact that a number of plants and animals, particularly small mammals, may be, to the exclusion of others, described as desert as much by their ecology and physiology of the specialized features of their morphology.
