Lions african 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 ekephant territory. They keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough to be heard up to five miles away. The pride usually remains intact until the males african are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, who then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young males leave ekephant 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 never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating 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 will join her, staying with her constantly.

Lions may hunt at any hour, african 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. The lions fan out along a broad front or semicircle to creep up on prey. Once with within striking distance, ekephant they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill african it with a bite to the neck or throat. ekephant Hunts are successful african about half the time. Cooperative hunting enables lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, young elephants, rhinos, hippos ekephant and giraffes, african any of which can provide several meals for the pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a lion''s diet. Because they often take over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and leopards, ekephant scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains.

A african shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen as easily as some ekephant other cats. Never 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 african cub ekephant 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 african animals that move quickly for their large size and have teeth built for grinding and cropping grass. Zebras ekephant 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 african of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species in the east is Burchell''s, ekephant also known as the common or plains zebra.
