South Africa's 'national' animal is the Springbok, a type of long-horned antelope capable of great speed. This is to South Africa as the kangaroo is to Australia, and the nickname of the South African rugby team is the 'Springboks'. However, other animals associated with South Africa include the aardvaark (a pig-like animal that feeds on insects), and also animals that exist elsewhere on the African continent such as the lion, the tapir and the giraffe.
South Africans have the same kind of pets as many places in the world. Most pet owners have dogs and/or cats or birds. Some people keep mice, rats, hamsters rabbits etc or those who like horses and can afford will rent space in a stable to keep them. More adventurous people keep lizards etc or snakes or Spiders. It is uncommon for people to have more exotic pets like Meerkats or monkeys, it is probably restricted by law as to what types of animals you can keep in what sort of conditions.
