 The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of african power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region. Most cat species live a fundamentally solitary existence, but the lion loons is an exception. It has developed a social african system based on teamwork loons and a division of labor within the pride, and an extended but closed family unit centered on a group of related african females. The average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their young loons and two or three territorial males that are usually african brothers or pride mates of the lion king. The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set 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 distances (100 yards is about the limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear loons stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device african and loons 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 early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.
