| Amazing Facts About Cross River National Park |
The Cross River national park is one of the oldest saved rainforests in Africa and the largest rainforest in Nigeria with the concentration of various vegetable life that, in turn, attracts many bird species and butterflies (there are 20% of a total number of types of butterflies known in the world).
In 1979, in the report of UNESCO, the park was described as the most amazing place in the world. Its unique natural features include mangrove swamps, mountain landscapes, and of course, the woods, which are crossed by the rivers and streams. The park is the house for many localized types of plants and animals. Baboons, leopards, red foxes, monkeys, elephants, and buffalos live here. In Nigeria, there are 23 types of primacies. 18 of them can be met on the territory of the park. Gorillas and chimpanzee have a great value. In Cross-River lives the colony of gorillas, unique in Africa to the South from the Sahara.
