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

A shy creature that roams widely, activity the cheetah is outdoor not seen as easily as some other cats. Never numerous, cheetahs have become extinct in many areas, principally due to shrinking habitat, loss activity of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all cheetah cubs die before 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses outdoor 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, activity erect hair, outdoor their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are activity 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.
