Ihlathi liyizwe elingavamile futhi elimangalisa ngempela elihlalwa ngabamele abanamandla, abanempilo nabathandekayo bezilwane. Ngenxa yohlaza oluvundile nomswakama owanele, izilwane zikhululekile ukwakha izidleke zazo nezindawo zokuhlala kule ndawo, futhi zihlala zikuthola kalula ukudla okuhlukahlukene. Le ndawo ifaneleka ikakhulukazi ezilwaneni ezincane neziphakathi nendawo. Abamele abagqamile bezinto eziphilayo yizimvubu, izingwenya, izimfene, ama-gorilla, ama-okapis, amahlosi, izingwe, ama-tapir, ama-orangutan, izindlovu nobhejane. Izinhlobo ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingama-40 zezimila zikhula ehlathini, okwenza ukuthi kutholakale ukudla kwazo zonke izinto eziphilayo.

Isiphetho
Umhlaba wehlathi ugcwele futhi uhlukahlukene, kepha ezigabeni eziningi awutholakali kubantu. Ezingxenyeni ezingezansi (ebusweni bomhlaba) ihlathi lisabonakala, kepha ekujuleni kwenziwa "udonga olungangeneki" lapho kunzima khona ukudlula. Ehlathini kuhlala izinyoni nezinambuzane eziningi ezithanda ukuzitika ngezithelo nezinhlamvu zezihlahla. Inani elikhulu lezinhlanzi zezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zitholakala emanzini (ama-vertebrate ancamela ukudla amajikijolo nezinambuzane). Amagundane, ama-ungulates, izilwane ezincelisayo nezinye izilwane eziningi zihlala ehlathini. Nsuku zonke, izilwane zilwela indawo elangeni futhi zifunda ukuphila ngaphansi kwezimo eziyingozi kangaka.
