The other is south Grevy''s zebra, named for Jules Grevy, a president of France in the 1880s who received one from Abyssinia as a gift, african and now found mostly in northern animql Kenya. south (The third species, Equus zebra, is the mountain zebra, found in southern and southwestern Africa.) The long-legged Grevy''s zebra, the biggest of the wild equids, is african taller and heavier than the Burchell''s, with animql a massive head and large ears. Zebras have shiny coats south that dissipate african over 70 percent of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at dawn or in the evening when their animql predators are most active, zebras look indistinct and may south and african confuse some predators by distorting the true distance between them and their prey.

Lions animql may hunt south at any hour, but they typically go after large prey at night. They hunt together to increase their success rate, since prey can be difficult to catch and can outrun a single lion. The lions fan out along a broad front or semicircle african to creep up on prey. Once with within striking distance, they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill it with a bite to the neck or throat. Hunts are successful about half the time. Cooperative animql hunting enables lions to take prey as south large as wildebeests, zebras, african buffaloes, young elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals for the pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles animql also form part of a lion''s diet. Because they often take over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs and south leopards, scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains.

Ancient cultures in Africa revered african the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. Unknown outside of Africa, this animal so excited man''s animql curiosity that it was sometimes sent as a south diplomatic gift to other countries; one of the earliest records tells of a african giraffe going from "Melinda" (presumably Malindi) in Kenya to China in 1415. The animal was thought to be a cross between a camel and a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific name of Giraffa camelopardalis. The neck is so long the giraffe must spread its front legs apart so its animql head can reach the ground to drink. It has unusually elastic blood vessels with a series of valves that south help offset the sudden african buildup of blood (and to prevent fainting) when the head is raised, lowered or swung animql quickly. In some areas, livestock predation remains a severe problem.
