Wildlife in Chad
We have seen some interesting wildlife since we've been living in Chad so here is a selection from photos that we've taken.
The Sun beetle is very common here.
Geckos are absolutely everywhere in Chad.
This is the (male) red-headed rock agama
Possibly a rain frog, he puffed up to an impressive size when we found him.
Bethan found this praying mantis soon after we arrived last year
This is a citrus swallowtail or a Christmas butterfly
One of many animals that Bethan has attempted to keep as a pet in our house, this Giant African fruit beetle seems to like its house, probably because of the fresh mango and pineapple that it gets each day.
We found lots of these Red Velvet Mites on a walk down by the river last week.
We don't see them very often in N'Djamena but outside of the city, it is common to see camels.
I saw this Red Billed Hornbill when I took part in the ebird global bird count in May (photos taken by A.Wolfe)
as well as a red-billed quelea (amongst many others).
Dear Becki. I'd love to be in touch with you as we (myself, husband and 3 children) are considering a call to Chad. Is it possible that we might email you please? Please email me if its ok. My address is bethano@Yahoo.Com.
