Generally a tawny yellow, lions, like other species, tend to be lighter in color in hot, arid areas and darker ahimal in areas of dense vegetation. pic Mature male lions are unique among the cat species for the thick mane of brown or black hair that encircles the head and neck. The ahimal tails of lions end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of hair. Lions are found in savannas, grasslands, dense bush and woodlands. Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride''s hunting, while the males patrol the territory and protect the pride, for pic which they take the "lion''s share" of the females'' prey. When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head ahimal rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, each lion looks out for itself. pic Squabbling and fighting are common, with adult males usually eating first, followed by the females and then the cubs.

The other is Grevy''s zebra, ahimal named for Jules Grevy, a president pic and ahimal of France in the 1880s who received one from Abyssinia as a gift, and now found mostly in northern Kenya. (The third species, pic Equus zebra, is the mountain zebra, found in southern and southwestern Africa.) The long-legged Grevy''s zebra, the ahimal biggest of the wild equids, is taller and heavier than the Burchell''s, pic with a massive head and large ears. Zebras have shiny coats that dissipate ahimal over 70 percent of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes pic help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at dawn or in the evening when their predators are most active, zebras look indistinct and may confuse some predators by distorting the true distance between them and their prey.
