 The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the anomal limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye picture to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. anomal Cheetah mothers spend a long picture time teaching their young how to hunt small live antelopes are brought back to the cubs anomal and released so they can chase and catch them. Unlike most other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights. The other is Grevy''s zebra, named for Jules Grevy, a president of France in the 1880s who received one from Abyssinia as a gift, and now found mostly in northern Kenya. (The third species, Equus zebra, is the mountain zebra, found in southern and southwestern picture Africa.) The long-legged Grevy''s zebra, the biggest of the wild equids, is taller and heavier anomal than picture the Burchell''s, with a massive head and large ears. Zebras anomal have shiny coats that dissipate over 70 percent picture of incoming heat, and some scientists anomal believe the stripes help the picture animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline anomal of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at dawn or in the evening when their predators are most active, zebras look picture indistinct and may confuse some predators by distorting the true distance anomal between them and their prey. Family members look out for one another; if one becomes separated from the rest, the others search for it. The group adjusts its traveling pace to accommodate the old picture and the weak. The females within a family observe a strict hierarchical system. A dominant mare always leads the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their foals anomal and picture directly behind them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last in line. Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside the system and has no special place in the line. Zebras are avid grazers. Both Burchell''s and Grevy''s zebras anomal are in constant search of green pastures. In the dry season, they can live on coarse, dry grass only if they are within a short distance (usually no farther than 20 miles picture away) of water holes. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern Kenya. If you are looking for african animals then look no further. You can see live feeds of african animals on your computer.
