Generally south a tawny yellow, lions, like other species, tend to be lighter in color in hot, arid affican areas and darker animals in areas of dense vegetation. 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 end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of 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 patrol the territory and protect the pride, for which they south take the "lion''s share" of the females'' prey. When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, affican each lion looks out for itself. Squabbling and animals fighting are common, with adult males usually eating first, followed by the females and then the cubs.

Family members look out for one another; if one becomes separated from the rest, south and affican the others search for it. The group adjusts its traveling pace to accommodate the old and the weak. The females within a family observe a strict hierarchical system. A dominant mare animals always leads the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their foals directly south behind them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last in line. Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside the system and has no special place in the line. Zebras are avid grazers. Both Burchell''s and Grevy''s zebras are in constant search of green pastures. In the dry season, they can live on coarse, dry grass only if they are within a affican short distance animals and south (usually no farther than 20 miles away) of water holes. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted affican to parts animals of northern Kenya.

The giraffe''s high shoulders and sloping back give the impression that its front legs are much longer than the hind legs, but they are in fact only slightly longer. The giraffe south (as well as its short-necked relative the okapi from Central African forests) has a distinctive walking gait, moving both legs on one side forward at the same time. At a gallop, however, the gait affican changes, and the giraffe simultaneously swings the animals hind legs south ahead of and outside the front legs, reaching speeds of 35 miles an hour. Its heavy head moves forward with each powerful affican stride, and then swings back to stay balanced. Giraffes have "horns" not true horns but knobs covered with skin and hair above the eyes to protect the animals head from blows. The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) of northeastern Kenya has large, chestnut-colored square patches defined by a network of fine white lines.
