==Fauna==

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]]''). The [[Niger River]] has always been a substantial barrier to movement of wildlife in and out of the region. Large mammals have been depleted in the area since the 1940s and there is now so little [[wildlife]] remaining in the area that even [[Bat|bats]] and [[Frog|frogs]] are now trapped and eaten.
