The giraffe''s high shoulders and sloping back give the impression that its front legs are much longer than the hind legs, but they animsl are in fact only slightly longer. The giraffe (as well as its picture short-necked relative animsl the okapi from Central African forests) has a distinctive walking gait, moving picture both legs on one side forward at the same time. At a gallop, animsl however, the gait changes, and the giraffe simultaneously swings the hind legs ahead picture of and outside the front legs, reaching speeds animsl of 35 miles an hour. Its heavy head moves forward with each powerful stride, and then swings back to stay balanced. picture 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 reticulata) of northeastern Kenya has large, chestnut-colored square patches defined by a network of fine white lines.

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 form a triangular pattern; Grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal animsl pattern. Burchell''s zebras inhabit savannas, from treeless grasslands to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in picture tens of thousands in migratory herds on the Serengeti plains. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern Kenya. Although they are adapted to semi-arid conditions and require animsl less water than other zebra species, these zebras compete with domestic livestock for water and have suffered heavy picture poaching for their meat and skins. Family groups are animsl 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 picture and preserve these bonds.

The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of animsl power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. picture Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region. Most cat species live a fundamentally animsl and picture solitary existence, but the lion is an exception. It has developed a social system based on teamwork and a division of labor within the pride, and an extended but closed family unit centered on a group of related females. The average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five animsl to 10 females with their young and two or three territorial males that are usually brothers picture or pride mates of the lion king.
