Equatorial Guinea Transportation
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transport in Equatorial Guinea
Due to the large oil industry in the country,
internationally recognized carriers fly to
Malabo International Airport which, as of May
2014, had several direct connections to
Europe and West Africa. There are only three
airports in Equatorial Guinea: Malabo
International Airport, Bata Airport and the
new Annobon Airport on the island of
Annobon. Malabo International Airport is the
only international airport in the country. It is
very hard to travel around Equatorial Guinea
by plane. It's more usual to use a bus, taxi,
boat (to travel from one of the islands to Rio
Muni) and car.
Every airline registered in the country appears
on the list of air carriers prohibited in the
European Union (EU) which means that they
are banned for safety reasons from operating
services of any kind within the EU

Equatorial Guinea Gorillas
The sub-species is still relatively unknown, related to the difficulties in observing these animals in the (dense) rainforest as
they travel in search of food. dzanga-sangha.org
Equatorial Guinea Gorillas
•They have fingernails and toenails instead of claws.
This is true for all primates.
•Most gorillas have dark skin, and black to brown hair
except the Silverbacks.
•They develop silver hair across their backs and thighs as
they go through puberty and sexually mature.
Interesting Physical Characteristics
•The largest primate is the Gorilla, which can weigh
up to 600 pounds.
•Unlike humans, gorillas have an opposable big toe,
as well as thumb. Therefore they can manipulate
objects with their feet as well as their hands.
This creates the illusion that they are bigger than they are!
Gorillas are
social animals
living in groups
known as Troops.
