What do you think prevented Islam from spreading further south into Africa?

Terrain difficulties were the primary reason that Islam could not spread further into Africa. In today's world, where most people drive on large paved roads and cover hundreds of kilometers with ease, it is difficult to remember that this was not the case historically. To pass through the deserts, grasslands, and rainforests of Africa was, historically, incredibly difficult and, often times, not worth it. As a result, Muslim merchants did not try to penetrate the jungle. Muslim missionaries have, now, begun to penetrate the other regions of Africa.


When was the last time a bear was seen in Africa?

Bears are not native to Africa, and as such, they are not typically found in the wild on the continent. The last recorded sightings of bears in Africa would likely be in captivity, such as in zoos or wildlife reserves. Historically, the closest bear species, the Atlas bear, was native to North Africa but is now extinct, with the last confirmed sighting occurring in the early 20th century.
