 Lions may hunt at any hour, but they typically go after large prey at night. They hunt together to increase their success rate, since prey can be difficult to catch and can outrun a single lion. afeican The lions fan out along a broad front or semicircle to creep up on prey. Once with within striking distance, they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill it with a bite to the neck or throat. Hunts are successful about half grey the time. Cooperative parrot hunting enables afeican lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, young grey elephants, parrot rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals for the pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a afeican and grey lion''s diet. Because they often take over kills made parrot by hyenas, cheetahs afeican and leopards, scavenged food grey provides more than 50 percent parrot of their afeican diets in areas like the Serengeti plains. A shy creature that grey roams widely, the cheetah is not seen as easily as some other cats. Never parrot numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally due to shrinking habitat, loss of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality. afeican and grey In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all cheetah cubs die before 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly for their large size and have teeth built for grinding and cropping grass. Zebras have horse like bodies, but their manes are made of short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of zebra still occur in Africa, two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species parrot in the east is Burchell''s, also known as the common afeican or plains zebra. The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set grey on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long parrot distances (100 yards afeican is about the limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear grey stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. Cheetah mothers spend a long time teaching their young how to hunt small live antelopes are brought back to the cubs and released so they can chase and catch them. Unlike most other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring parrot early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.
