Fond of African fauna?

Nothing like zooming in from orbit to check out some cows at an African watering hole. Via Google Earth Blog, here’s a great collection of links pointing to animals visible in the National Geographic layer of super hi-res photos in Google Earth.

You can find: elephants, hippos, goats, flamingos, seals, and more. Simply open the folder “African animals” and you will see the list of animals, or double click on the photo icons as you zoom across Africa. This is a more informative and organized way to examine these wonderfully detailed photos from the National Geographic collection.
