The lion is said to be majestic, the leopard ferocious and shrewd. But elegant and graceful best describes the cheetah. animal The cheetah is smaller than the other two cats, but by far the fastest at speeds of 70 miles per hour it can run faster sounds than all other animals. Now restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, wild cheetahs once were found in most of Africa, the plains of southern Asia, the Middle East and India. Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric animal rock and cave paintings. sounds Unknown outside 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 animal a giraffe going from "Melinda" (presumably sounds Malindi) in Kenya to China 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 animal of Giraffa camelopardalis. sounds The neck is so long the giraffe must spread its front legs apart so its head can reach the ground to drink.

Some never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating herds; but the animal nomadic life is much more difficult, with little time for resting or reproducing. Within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. sounds When a lioness is in heat, a male will join her, staying with her constantly.
