 Lions may hunt at any hour, 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, they bound afrucan 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 hunting enables lions to take prey lion as large as wildebeests, safari and afrucan and lion and safari zebras, buffaloes, young elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals afrucan for the lion pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a lion''s diet. Because they often take over safari kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and leopards, scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas afrucan like the Serengeti plains. The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, lion a safari 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, afrucan tail for balance. Although fast, the lion cheetah safari cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the afrucan limit) because lion it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive 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 safari and afrucan mothers spend a long time teaching their young how to hunt small live antelopes are brought back lion to the cubs and released so they can chase and catch them. Unlike most safari other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.
