The lion is said to be majestic, the leopard ferocious and shrewd. But elegant and graceful best describes the cheetah. cheetah The cheetah is smaller than the other two cats, but by far the fastest at speeds of 70 miles per hour it can run faster than all other animals. Now restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, wild cheetahs once were found in most of Africa, the plains of southern Asia, the Middle East and India. Generally a tawny yellow, aftican lions, like other species, tend to be lighter in color in hot, arid areas and darker in areas of dense cheetah vegetation. aftican Mature male lions are unique among the cat species for the thick mane of brown or black hair that encircles the head and neck. The tails of lions cheetah end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of aftican hair. Lions are found in savannas, grasslands, dense bush and woodlands. Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride''s hunting, while the males cheetah patrol the territory and protect the pride, for which they take the "lion''s share" of the females'' prey. When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship aftican with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, each lion looks out for itself. Squabbling cheetah and fighting are common, with adult aftican males usually eating first, followed by the females and then the cubs. 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 to five horns instead of the usual 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 zones south of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the cheetah giraffe is not mute. Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses aftican of hearing and sight, often alerting other animals to nearby predators. Giraffes use a home range but are not territorial. The males are hierarchical and sometimes cheetah spar by standing aftican side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks entwine. If you are looking for african animals then look no further. You can see live feeds of african animals on your computer.
