ReplyDeleteHi there! Your answers are spot on - well done!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine having eleven official languages? Sounds odd, doesn't it? English is the most commonly spoken language though.
As for our animals - you will have to visit our many national parks to see these animals. My family and I visited the Kruger National Park in July and it was an amazing holiday. We saw all the Big 5 (Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and Lion, and many more. It was wonderful. Sadly our rhinos are facing a huge threat from poachers who kill them for their horns. Over 380 have been killed this year alone.
We are a rugby-loving nation, as are Australia and New Zealand. Rugby is in our blood!
Well done on answering your questions so well!
