  4. I have researched Africa, and I found that it is the second-largest continent and it is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. Five most famours animals are elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo. The languages are: Arabic, Somali, Berber, Amharic, Oromo, Swahili, Hausa, Manding, Fulani and Yoruba. Their famous dishes are Groundnut (peanut) stew containing chicken, okra, ginger, and other spices, Another favourite is bambara, a porridge of rice, peanut butter and sugar. Beef and chicken are favourite meat dishes, but game meat preparations containing crocodile, monkey, antelope and warthog are also served occasionally. The weather in Africa is hot!!
