 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 species can have up to five horns instead of the usual two or three. The Masai afrkcan giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular elephants star-shaped brown afrkcan or tan spots. Giraffes are elephants found in arid and dry-savanna afrkcan zones south of the Sahara, elephants wherever afrkcan trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, elephants moan and emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses of hearing and sight, often afrkcan alerting other animals to nearby predators. Giraffes use a home range but are not territorial. The males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks entwine. The cheetah is built for elephants speed. It has long, afrkcan 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, elephants tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about afrkcan the limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive elephants black "tear stripes" 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 afrkcan 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 elephants hunts during afrkcan daylight, preferring early morning or early evening, elephants but is also active on moonlit nights.
