Firstly if butterflies, insects, and aunts are protected animals then I would have used the pictures without getting them from the internet, unfortunately, there aren't universally protected animals, but some species might be protected which I don't think Nigeria has. Besides, do you think, it is easier for someone to just enter the bush in Nigeria a find African Forest Elephant, Pangolin, and West African Manatee if it is that easy then I would have snapped them myself than using the internet photos which the contest accepted as you can see it below 👇.

Posts must be in the steem of Animals community and have a minimum of 3 photos (if it is not personal, it is best to use photos that are free and free of charge) and be accompanied by photo illustrations of at least 250 words (not including opening and closing words).

Thanks for your suggestions, but for such animals which are hardly seen, I can't get you a photo of mine.
