Animals of Sudan is a series on our children’s platform “Um Kiki”, which was launched with the aim to provide an accessible, structured equivalent of the SSLH Awareness Campaign for children, particularly displaced children.
Narrated by Dr Ikram Madani, a scientist and researcher of plant taxonomy and served as director of the Sudan Natural History Museum. It is designed to educate children about the wildlife of Sudan and introduce concepts such as local names, natural habitats and threats that the animals face either due to climate change or human impact. It presents these facts in a light, easy-to-follow format to be received in audio or video form.
The playlist contains 5 episodes each about an animal from Sudan. The animals being, the Nile Crocodile, the famous resident of the Natural History Museum which hatched from an egg at the museum, the African Rock Python (Assala), the longest snake in Africa, widely found in Sudan, the Secretary Bird, which represents the emblem of the Republic of Sudan, the Monkey, a tribute to Mohsin the pet monkey of the Natural History Museum, and the Hippopotamus ‘girintiya’, the powerful inhabitant of the rivers and lakes of the Nile Valley.
