Identify the mistakes and write the corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes. 1 The huge mountain of Kilimanjaro is one of the most distinctive entities within the severe land 2 of the African wilderness. Rivers carry life to the forests and jungles below flow from beneath 3 the eminence, whereas in the endless plains of this continent an astonishing diversity of animal 4 species have evolved to take advantage of the immense African habitat. They have adapted and 5 survived in their different shapes and sizes. Some of them are big, some small, some eat plans 6 and some live by meat. There are those which wander alone, unlike the others which gather in 7 herd. The multiplying millions of herbivores are balanced by the frightened meat eaters - 8 carnivores whose body build has been shaped for speed and for the strength indispensable to 9 outmanoeuvring their prey. These superior predators which have conducted their daily struggle 10 for survival in the harsh African environment all live in unfavourable surroundings where the 11 punishment for weakness is often dead. The reality of Africa best pictures the exciting cruelty 12 of nature towards the weakness of individual animals as only the existence of the whole species 13 is essential. However, big predators like lions or tigers don't usually tolerate with company and 14 might, then, be exposed to mortal danger, were it not for their perfect attributes and an 15 uncomparable skill at killing. They should never be judged by human standards. It is obvious 16 they don't kill out of hatred, but for the simple reason of remaining lively during their lone 17 struggle in this hostile habitat.
