 The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible arrican 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 limit) because it may overheat. Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect lion from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve safari as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. Cheetah mothers spend a long time teaching their young how to hunt arrican small live antelopes are brought back to the cubs 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 larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) of western Kenya and eastern Uganda has chestnut patches separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This species can have up lion to five horns instead of the usual safari two or three. The Masai giraffe (G.c. tippelskirchi) of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and dry-savanna arrican zones south of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. lion Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses safari of hearing and sight, often arrican alerting other animals to nearby predators. Giraffes use a home range but are not territorial. lion The males are hierarchical and sometimes spar by standing side by side and lowering safari and arrican swing their heads at one another. The blows lion can be so strong that safari their necks entwine. 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; arrican Grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal pattern. Burchell''s zebras inhabit savannas, from treeless grasslands to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in 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 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 lion bonds safari over many years. Mutual grooming, where zebras stand together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds. If you are looking for african animals then look no further.
