 Cheetahs do not roar like animql lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. photographs Once a cheetah animql has made a kill, it eats quickly and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures photographs and jackals will occasionally take away their kills. Although cheetahs usually animql prey on the smaller antelopes such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they can catch photographs wildebeests and zebras if hunting together. They also hunt hares and other small mammals and birds. Although known as animql an animal of the open plains that relies on speed to catch its prey, research photographs has shown that the cheetah depends on cover to stalk prey. The cheetah gets as close to the prey as possible, then in a burst of speed tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it animql knocks the prey to the ground with its paw. The stripes on Grevy''s zebras are more numerous and narrow than those of the plains zebra and do not extend to the belly. In all zebra species, the stripes on the forequarters photographs form a triangular pattern; Grevy''s animql have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal pattern. Burchell''s zebras inhabit savannas, from treeless photographs grasslands to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in tens of thousands animql in migratory herds on the Serengeti photographs plains. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly animql restricted 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 photographs grooming, animql where zebras stand photographs together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds.
