Suggestion - move the clunky list of animals to a dedicated page ("List of notable African fauna" or somesuch)

The page contains a list of animals that is:

1 - grammatically improper (erroneous list capitalization, inconsistent list plurality, and some typographical errors - skimming the list the only case I notice is "Bat-eared foxs".)

2 - clunky and out of place (wall of text).

The page could be greatly improved by either separating the list into a properly formatted list later in the page, removing the list entirely, or moving it to a dedicated page such as "List of African fauna". RamenGuy221 (talk) 15:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
