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. The females sunvalleyskiing within a family observe a strict hierarchical system. A dominant mare always leads the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their foals directly behind sunvalleyskiing them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last in line. sunvalleyskiing Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside the system and has no special place in the sunvalleyskiing line. Zebras are avid grazers. Both Burchell''s and Grevy''s zebras are in constant search sunvalleyskiing of green pastures. In the dry season, they can live 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.

Ancient cultures in Africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. Unknown outside of Africa, this animal so excited man''s curiosity that it was sometimes sent as a diplomatic gift to other countries; one of the earliest records tells of a giraffe going from "Melinda" sunvalleyskiing (presumably sunvalleyskiing Malindi) in Kenya to China in 1415. The animal was thought to be a cross between a camel and a leopard, a mistake immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific name of Giraffa camelopardalis. The neck is so long the giraffe must spread its front legs apart so its head can reach the ground to drink. It has unusually elastic blood vessels with a series of valves that help offset the sudden buildup of blood (and to prevent fainting) sunvalleyskiing when the sunvalleyskiing head is raised, lowered or swung quickly. In some areas, sunvalleyskiing livestock predation remains a severe problem.
