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 old and the weak. sun The females within a family observe a strict hierarchical valley system. A dominant idaho mare always leads the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their employment foals directly sun behind them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last valley in line. Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside idaho and employment 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, sun they can live valley on coarse, dry grass only if they are within a short distance (usually no farther than 20 miles away) of water holes. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern Kenya.

The cheetah idaho is built for speed. It has long, slim, muscular employment legs, sun a small, rounded head set on a long neck, a flexible spine, a deep chest, nonretractable claws, special pads on its feet for traction and a long, tail for balance. Although fast, the cheetah cannot run at full speed for long distances (100 yards is about the limit) because valley it may overheat. Cheetahs idaho have distinctive black "tear stripes" that connect from the inside corner of each eye to the employment mouth that may serve as an antiglare device for daytime hunting. Cheetahs are found in open and partially sun open savannas. Cheetah mothers spend a long time teaching their young how to valley hunt small idaho live antelopes are brought back to the cubs and released so they can chase and catch them. employment Unlike most other cats, the cheetah usually hunts during daylight, preferring early morning or early evening, but is also active on moonlit nights.

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