 The lion is a magnificent animal that appears wild and animsl as a symbol of power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through wild the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region. Most cat species live animsl a fundamentally solitary existence, but the lion is an exception. It has developed a social system based on wild teamwork and a division of labor within the pride, and an extended but closed family unit centered animsl on a group of related females. The average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their young and two or three territorial wild males that are usually animsl and wild brothers or pride mates of the lion king. A shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen as easily as animsl some other cats. Never numerous, wild cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally animsl due to shrinking habitat, loss of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub wild mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all cheetah cubs die before animsl 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly 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.
