Out of Afric'a 55 countries, 16 of them arel;andlocked: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, South Sudan, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. In other words, about a third of the continent is made up of countries that have no access to the ocean or sea.
The African Civet is one animal that can only be found in Africa
African civets are found across the sub-Saharan region and weigh only about three to ten pounds. Indeed some Ostrich eggs are bigger than a fully grown adult Civet! With a lifespan of around 12 years in the wild, Civets are sought after by hunters for their pelts. Though they may seem small and cuddly, African Civets are, in fact, ravenous omnivores whose diet includes everything from plants to insects and even birds. Spending much of the daytime sleeping and resting, Civets do much of their feeding at night and can easily camouflage themselves with their black spots and darkened faces.
Well said Sharon you really are a STAR Amy. You go the extra mile with all your information and wonderful creations you send us. Thank you.
WOW! Lots of fascinating facts for us to digest, Amy. Thank you for your diligent research and helpful information. You get gold stars!
Thanks so much for your research, Amy....so much I didn't know.
I had never heard of the African Civet. Such a shame that when people find something beautiful they want to kill it.
Thank you Ladies , that was quick. I see I still have to shop for red, pink, and purple. Guess I had better get to the store.
oh, Pat! I'm so sorry to hear that you MUST go yarn shopping! What a sad day ..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Hi Pat. I think the quickest way to find the list is to go to the top of this page to the section where you will see the various headings to click on. Then click on Main Page, then when you are on the pain page, scroll down and on the right hand side of the page you will see the Themes for 2024. Hope this helps.
