 A shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen 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 elephants a high rate of cub mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all elephants cheetah cubs elephants die before 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, elephants long-lived animals that move quickly elephants for their large size and have teeth 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 in the east is Burchell''s, also known as the common or plains zebra. Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours elephants a day sleeping and elephants resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They keep in contact with one another by roaring loud elephants enough to be heard up to five miles away. The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, who then elephants 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 elephants 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.
