Lions may hunt at any hour, african but they typically go after large prey at liobs 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, 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 the time. Cooperative safari hunting enables lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, young elephants, 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 lion''s diet. Because they often take african over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and leopards, scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains.

The larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) of western Kenya and eastern Uganda has chestnut patches separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This liobs species can have up to five horns instead of the usual two or three. The Masai giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and safari dry-savanna zones south of the Sahara, wherever african trees occur. Although a liobs relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, safari bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses of hearing african and sight, often alerting other animals to nearby predators. Giraffes liobs use a home range but are not territorial. safari The males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows african can be so strong that their necks entwine.

The other is Grevy''s zebra, named for Jules Grevy, a president of France in the 1880s who received one from Abyssinia as a gift, and now found mostly in northern Kenya. liobs (The third species, Equus zebra, is the mountain zebra, found in southern safari and southwestern Africa.) The long-legged Grevy''s zebra, the biggest of the wild equids, is taller and heavier than the Burchell''s, with a massive head and large ears. Zebras have shiny coats that dissipate over 70 percent of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called african disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at liobs dawn or in the evening when their predators are most active, zebras look safari indistinct and may confuse some predators by distorting the true distance between them and their prey.
