65 mammal species call this place home, alongside 350 species of birds, and 30 species of reptiles and amphibians have been recorded in the park. These include lion, leopard, caracal, elephant and African manatee, numerous species of antelope, hippopotamus, African wild dog, honey badger, cheetah, Senegal bushbaby, many species of monkey, and African clawless otter. Reptiles include the Nile crocodile, West African slender-snouted crocodile, four turtle species, Nile monitor, savannah monitor, other lizards and snakes, and 12 amphibian species. There are 82 species of fish in Lake Kainji. The fauna of the Zugurma sector is less varied than of the Borgu sector because of poor drainage, overgrazing by cattle, poor quality vegetation and extensive poaching.

I you work around this reserve, do get in touch, we are eager to help people find you and visit this important wilderness.

Below is a video of the reserve, unfortunately it appears to be the only one (the only other one which mentions the reserve is only a roan antelope). The audio is simply a wikipedia article read out. I hope to replace it with something better as soon as possible.
