 When a foal is born the mother keeps all other african zebras (even the members of her family) away from it for 2 or 3 days, until it learns to recognize her by sight, voice and smell. While all foals have a close association anteope with their mothers, the male foals are also close to their fathers. They leave their group on their african own accord between the ages of 1 and anteope 4 years african to join an all-male bachelor group until they are strong enough to head a family. Zebras are important anteope prey for lions and hyenas, and to a lesser extent for hunting dogs, leopards african and cheetahs. When a family group is attacked, the members form a semicircle, face anteope the predator and watch it, ready to bite or strike should the attack continue. If one of the family is injured african the rest will often encircle it to protect it from further attack. Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They keep in anteope contact with one another by roaring loud enough to be african heard up to five miles anteope away. The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, who then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, african young males anteope leave the units of their birth and spend several years as nomads before they become strong enough to take over a pride of their own. Some african never stop wandering anteope and continue to follow migrating african herds; but the nomadic life is much more difficult, with little time for resting or reproducing. Within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. When a lioness is in heat, a male anteope will join her, staying african with anteope her constantly.
