 When a foal is born the mother keeps all other zebras (even the members of her family) away from it for 2 or 3 days, until it learns to recognize her by sight, voice and smell. While all foals have a close association with their mothers, the male foals are also close to their wild fathers. They leave their group aninals on wild their own accord between the ages of 1 and 4 years to join an all-male bachelor group until they aninals are strong enough to head a family. Zebras are important prey for wild lions and hyenas, and to a lesser extent for hunting dogs, leopards and cheetahs. aninals When a family group is attacked, the members form a semicircle, face the predator and watch it, ready wild to bite or strike should the attack continue. If one of the family is injured the rest will often encircle it to protect it from further attack. Generally a tawny yellow, lions, like other species, tend to be lighter in color in hot, arid areas and darker in areas of dense aninals vegetation. Mature male lions are unique wild among the cat species aninals 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, wild dense bush aninals 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 wild share" of the females'' prey. aninals When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, each lion looks out for itself. Squabbling and fighting wild are common, with adult males usually aninals and wild eating first, followed by the females and then the cubs aninals.
