A shy creature that roams widely, the cheetah is not seen as easily as some other cats. sun Never numerous, cheetahs have valley become extinct in many areas, idaho and sun principally due to shrinking habitat, loss of species to prey upon, disease and a high rate of cub mortality. In some areas 50 to 75 percent of all valley and idaho cheetah cubs die before 3 months. Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived sun animals valley that move quickly for their large size and have teeth built for grinding and idaho cropping grass. Zebras have horse like bodies, but their manes are made of sun short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of valley zebra still occur in Africa, two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous idaho and widespread species in sun and valley the east is Burchell''s, idaho also known as the common or plains zebra.

The sun larger Baringo or Rothschild''s giraffe (G.c. rothschildi) of western Kenya and eastern Uganda has chestnut patches valley separated by broader white lines but no spotting below the knees. This species can idaho have up to five horns instead of the usual two or three. The Masai giraffe sun (G.c. tippelskirchi) valley and idaho of Tanzania and southern Kenya has irregular star-shaped brown or tan spots. Giraffes are found in arid and dry-savanna zones south sun and valley of the Sahara, wherever trees occur. Although a relatively quiet animal, the giraffe is not mute. idaho Giraffes bellow, grunt, bray in distress, moan and sun emit short flutelike notes. They have acute senses of valley hearing and sight, often idaho alerting other animals to nearby sun predators. Giraffes use valley a home range but are not territorial. The males are hierarchical idaho and sometimes spar by standing side by side and lowering and swing their heads at one another. The blows can be so strong that their necks entwine.
