 The giraffe''s high shoulders and sloping back give the impression that its front legs are much longer than the hind legs, but they are in fact only ahimal slightly cam longer. The giraffe (as well as its short-necked relative the ahimal okapi from Central African forests) has a distinctive walking gait, moving both legs on one side forward at the same time. At cam a gallop, however, the gait ahimal changes, and the giraffe simultaneously swings the hind legs ahead of and outside the front legs, reaching speeds of 35 miles an hour. Its heavy head moves forward with each powerful cam stride, and then swings back to stay balanced. Giraffes have "horns" not true horns but knobs covered with skin and hair above the eyes to protect the head from blows. The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ahimal reticulata) of northeastern Kenya has large, chestnut-colored square patches defined by a network of fine white cam lines. Cheetahs do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. Once a cheetah has made a kill, it eats quickly and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures and jackals will occasionally take away their kills. Although cheetahs usually prey on the smaller antelopes such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they can catch wildebeests and zebras if hunting together. They also ahimal hunt hares and other small mammals and birds. Although known as an animal of the cam open plains that relies on speed to catch its prey, research has shown that the cheetah depends on cover to stalk prey. The cheetah gets as close ahimal to the prey as possible, then in a burst of speed cam tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw.
