Lions 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. They keep in contact with one another endabgered by roaring loud enough to be heard up to five miles away. animal and endabgered The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven animal away or killed by other males, who then take endabgered 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 animal 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.

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

The tails of lions end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of hair. Lions are found in animal savannas, grasslands, dense bush and woodlands. Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride''s hunting, while the males patrol the territory and protect the pride, for which they take the "lion''s share" endabgered of the females'' animal prey. When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, each endabgered lion looks out for itself. Squabbling and fighting are common, with adult males usually eating first, followed by the females and animal then the cubs.
