 A shy creature that roams widely, the afeican and lion cheetah is not seen as easily as some other cats. Never numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally due to shrinking habitat, loss sarfari of species to prey upon, afeican disease lion and a high rate of cub mortality. 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 sarfari grinding afeican and lion and sarfari and cropping grass. Zebras have horse like bodies, but their manes are made afeican of short, erect hair, lion their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of zebra still occur in Africa, sarfari two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species in the east is Burchell''s, also known as afeican the common or plains zebra. The lion cheetah is built sarfari for speed. afeican It has long, slim, muscular lion legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet sarfari for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the limit) because afeican it lion may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" sarfari 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 afeican live antelopes are brought back to the cubs and released so they can chase and catch them.
