Small areas of protected [[forest]] do remain within the [[grassland]] and these are home to animals such as [[Sclater's guenon]] and [[crested chameleon]] (''[[Trioceros cristatus]]'').

Large mammals have been depleted in the area since the 1940s and there is now so little wildlife remaining in the area that even bats and frogs are now trapped and eaten.
