Animals in Ghana

Ghana’s wildlife reflects the country’s varied landscapes, from lush rainforests to coastal wetlands. It supports primates, large mammals, birds of prey, and aquatic species, offering a rich tapestry of ecosystems for conservation and exploration.

The tawny eagle is widely recognized as a national symbol in Ghana. Often seen soaring above savannas and open woodlands, it represents vision, strength, and freedom in both cultural and ecological contexts.

Ghana is home to dangerous animals such as buffaloes, chimpanzees, forest elephants, and aquatic predators like orcas and tiger sharks. These species demand caution in both land and marine areas.

Notable animals in Ghana include the chimpanzee, leopard, and hippo, each inhabiting distinct environments. Their presence highlights the country’s biodiversity and growing efforts in species protection.
