 Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. Unknown outside aftican and lions of Africa, this animal so excited man''s curiosity that it was sometimes sent as a diplomatic gift to other countries; one of the earliest records tells of a giraffe going from aftican "Melinda" (presumably Malindi) in Kenya to China lions in 1415. The animal was thought to be a cross between a camel and a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific name of Giraffa aftican camelopardalis. The neck lions is aftican so long the giraffe must spread lions its front legs apart so its head can reach the ground to drink. It has unusually elastic blood vessels with a series of valves that help offset the sudden buildup of blood (and to prevent fainting) when the head is raised, lowered or swung quickly. In some areas, livestock predation remains a severe problem. The stripes on Grevy''s zebras are more numerous and narrow than those of the plains zebra aftican and lions do not extend to the belly. In all zebra species, the stripes on the forequarters form a triangular aftican pattern; Grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal lions and aftican pattern. Burchell''s zebras inhabit savannas, from treeless grasslands lions to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in tens of thousands in migratory herds on the Serengeti plains. Grevy''s aftican zebras are now mainly restricted lions to parts of northern Kenya. Although they are adapted to semi-arid conditions and require less water than other zebra species, these zebras compete with domestic livestock for water and have suffered heavy poaching for their meat and skins. Family groups are stable members maintaining strong bonds over many years. Mutual grooming, where zebras stand together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds. If you are looking for african animals then look no further.
