Animals,Plants, &Natural Resources Chad is full of life there is a endless amount of animals, plants, and natural resources. The animal that I found is the most interesting in Chad is White Lion. The White Lion is a very rare cross bread between a Kruger and African lion. Also, the white lion first comes to the public in the 1970’s. One cool plant that I researched was the Baobab tree. For example, the Baobab can live for 6,000 years! Finally, a natural resource is uranium. One fact about uranium is that it creates a “Little Boy” atomic bomb which is very dangerous. All in all, Chad is full of great animals, plants, and natural resources!
