Cheetahs do not roar like lions, but they purr, hiss, whine and growl. They also make a variety of contact calls; the most common is a birdlike chirping sound. Once a cheetah has made a kill, it eats quickly anomal and keeps an eye out for scavengers lions; leopards, hyenas, vultures and jackals will occasionally take away their screensaver kills. Although cheetahs anomal usually prey on the smaller antelopes such as Thomson''s gazelles and impalas, they can catch wildebeests and zebras screensaver if hunting together. They also hunt hares and other small mammals anomal 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 screensaver possible, then in a burst of speed tries to outrun its anomal quarry. Once the cheetah closes in, it knocks the prey to the ground with its paw.

The screensaver other is Grevy''s zebra, named for anomal 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 screensaver mountain zebra, found in southern and southwestern Africa.) The long-legged Grevy''s zebra, the biggest of the wild equids, is taller and heavier than the Burchell''s, with a massive anomal head and large ears. Zebras have screensaver shiny coats that dissipate over 70 percent anomal of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called disruptive coloration screensaver that breaks up the outline of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at dawn or in the evening when their predators are most active, zebras look indistinct and may confuse some predators by distorting the true distance between them and their prey.

Lions anomal are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. screensaver They keep in contact with one another by roaring anomal loud enough to be heard up to five miles away. The pride usually remains intact until screensaver the males are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, anomal who screensaver then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young males leave the units of their birth and spend several years as nomads before they become strong enough to take over a pride of their own. Some never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating herds; but the 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. When a lioness is in heat, a male will join her, staying with her constantly.
