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

Cheetahs do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and anomal growl. They also make a cam 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, anomal they can catch wildebeests and zebras if hunting together. They also hunt hares and other small mammals and birds. Although known as an animal of the 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 to the prey as possible, then in a burst of speed tries to outrun its quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw.

A shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen cam as easily as some other cats. Never numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally due to shrinking habitat, loss of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 anomal percent of all cheetah cubs die before 3 months. Zebras, cam horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly for their large size and have teeth anomal built for grinding and cropping grass. Zebras have horse like bodies, but their manes are made of short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of zebra still occur in Africa, two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species cam in the east is Burchell''s, also known as the common or plains zebra.
