The cat, who had by some as a perfect view of animal nature from the beginning, only experienced the slightest change in development over the past 30-odd million years ago.
E 'three big cats in Africa, lions, cheetahs and leopards, the legends inspired the most passionate in the world. Each of these cats is an icon in its own right.
The power and majesty of the lion
Often called the "king of beasts, the lion iconReputation as a cat of great strength and beauty. The biggest of the big cats in Africa, the real heir of his age enhanced by the magnificent mane male, gold, ranging from a rich color to a darker color than the animals.
Of course, the dominant male lions often are not hunting them, preferring instead to allow women or men of pride, not for the hard work before long and claim to kill his part. It weighs over 200 kgthe wild, and got up to 2 meters at the shoulder, cuts of this large animal is a huge figure.
The cooperative social of all big cats, their real strength lies in their ability to cooperate with pride tactics research group to make a kill.
While they are mainly nocturnal, they are easily found during the day to conserve energy and rest in shady areas. The unsuspecting tourists enjoy the sight of listless and "tame" animals, while inon a safari game drive, would do well to emphasize that the lions should be active soon, if ever, present, simple meal occasion.
The Cheetah is a symbol of speed and grace
Known as the fastest animal on earth, the cheetah has a slender body, long legs and retractable claws, seeds, with a short, rough skin patches covered with small, round, black.
He gets up with a shoulder height of about 70 cm, has a body length of 112-135 cm, tail length 66-84cm and weighs about 34-54 kg, slightly larger in males than in females.
Much more easily configured, either a lion or leopard, its strategic advantage hunting distances is known to accelerate the ability to short at incredible speeds in excess. Although not specifically sent over long distances, can reach a top speed of 110 km / h ( 70 miles hour) within seconds. Carefully stalking techniques, have pursued their prey, and approaches the 20 -30 metersbefore triggering the gun that kills his step to be successful in about 50% of pursuits.
Decline in prey, loss of habitat, poaching and a reputation for livestock predator threaten the survival of the cheetah throughout its range.
The ruthless efficiency of the hunting-leopard Lone
Leopardi, sometimes referred to as "the epitome of the Cat" are the most difficult of the three big cats in Africa. Equal to about 80 centimeters at shoulder height and weighing between 40 and70kg cheetahs, these cats stronger, but slower and much smaller than lions.
solitary hunters looking for partner companies only leopards, and are constantly in danger of losing their kill lions. For this reason, they use their ability to climb the highest tree to attract their prey in custody. While the more substantial kill in this way are stored and then return to feed the cat, leopards are opportunistic animals with a diet extremely flexible.I am happy to consume protein in almost every form of insects, animals, almost twice its own weight and will readily eat carrion.
Failure to follow these big cats in their natural habitat is a privilege, not to be missed. To learn more about them, or who are often on television an interesting insight into their lives, but always close to these magnificent animals, when a game disc, will inspire you.
