 The cheetah is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular legs, a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, lion 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) rpar because it may overheat. lion Cheetahs have distinctive black "tear stripes" rpar that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially open savannas. Cheetah mothers spend lion a long time teaching their young how to hunt small rpar and lion live antelopes are brought back to the cubs rpar and released so they can chase and catch them. Unlike most other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, lion preferring early morning or early evening, but rpar is also active on moonlit nights. Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, lion and rpar devoting the remaining lion hours to hunting, rpar courting or lion protecting their territory. They keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough to rpar 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 lion take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young males leave the units of their birth and spend rpar 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 lion are the fathers of all the cubs. When a lioness is in heat, a male will join her, rpar staying with her constantly.
