Ethiopian Bushcrow (Zavattariornis stresemanni)
The Ethiopian Bush-crow is a rare bird found only in southern Ethiopia’s acacia savannas. Belonging to the Corvidae family, it is intelligent, social, and one of the world’s few truly endemic crow species. 🇪🇹

The Gelada baboon — often called the “bleeding-heart monkey” — is one of nature’s most unique and captivating primates.
Endemic to the Ethiopian highlands, it stands out with its striking red chest patch, complex social structure, and surprisingly human-like vocal communication. Unlike most baboons, geladas spend their days grazing peacefully on grass, thriving in large, organized groups.
A true icon of Ethiopia’s wildlife, the gelada reminds us of the beauty, diversity, and importance of protecting our natural heritage.

Wattled Crane (Bugeranus carunculatus)
Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Africa’s tallest flying bird, the magnificent Wattled Crane, graces the wetlands of southern and eastern Africa — from lush floodplains to serene marshes, including the awe-inspiring Bale Mountains.
With their graceful flight and haunting calls, these cranes are not just symbols of elegance but also of devotion. They form lifelong pairs, raising a single chick with extraordinary care and unwavering dedication.
As wetlands face growing threats, protecting these fragile ecosystems is more important than ever. Let’s stand together to ensure the Wattled Crane’s echoing call continues to soar across Africa’s skies.
