Furry predators

The leopard is excellent at climbing trees. He is able to quickly climb the highest branch, even holding prey in his teeth, which is twice his size. On the tree, the predator cannot reach its main enemies - lions and hyenas. However, the leopard has few friends: he is a loner who manages to be at enmity even with his relatives. If suddenly one leopard meets another - expect an exchange of threats, or even a bloody fight.

Tigers have unique not only the aforementioned patterns on their skin and skin, but also their voices. Moreover, tigers recognize each other by their voices.
Tigers swim great. They are able to swim across even very wide rivers with powerful currents (see river facts).
The Amur tiger, the largest of all, can reach three meters in length, not counting the tail.

The killer whale, although a relative of the dolphin, can deal with a shark in cold blood, strangling it!

A hump or two is the calling card of a camel. An unusually hardy and unpretentious animal that can do up to two weeks without water and up to a month without food. Thanks to its thick coat, the camel tolerates both heat and cold. And he can carry a load of half his own weight for a long time. Prostozoo talks about camels.

The cheetah's "secret weapon" is its flexible body with a strong spine, curved like an arch of a bridge, and powerful clawed legs that allow it to firmly rest on the ground. It is the fastest-footed animal of the African savannah. No one can imagine an animal running faster than a cheetah. In short moments, he develops a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour, and if he did not get tired quickly, he would be the most terrible predator in Africa.

Of all the feathered predators, the fastest is the peregrine falcon. In horizontal flight, it is inferior to swifts in speed, but in a dive, peregrine falcons develop a speed of over 300 km / h, which makes them generally the fastest living creatures on Earth.

Itself in height is equal to 75-90 centimeters. The horns of the animal are elongated by 80 centimeters. The outgrowths are lyre-shaped, have a ring structure.

Grant's gazelle has learned to do without water for weeks. The ungulate is content with crumbs of moisture from the plants. Therefore, in times of drought, gazelles do not rush after zebras, wildebeests, and buffaloes. Grant's specimens remain in abandoned, desolate lands. This protects gazelles, because predators also rush after the bulk of ungulates to watering holes.

A characteristic feature of a lion is a thick mane in males, which other representatives of the feline family do not have.

A lioness usually gives birth to two lion cubs. To become adults, they need about two years - all this time they adopt the experience of their parents.

Lion's claws can be up to 7 cm.
