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

ancient cultures in africa revered the giraffe, as some modern cultures do today, and commonly depicted it in face and nimbus 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 the countries; north one of the earliest records tells face and nimbus of a giraffe the going from "melinda" (presumably malindi) in kenya to china in 1415. the animal was thought to be a cross north and face between a camel and a leopard, a mistake nimbus immortalized in the giraffe''s scientific the name of giraffa camelopardalis. the neck is so long the giraffe north must spread its front legs apart so its head can reach the ground to drink. face it has unusually elastic blood vessels with a series of valves that help offset the sudden buildup of blood (and to prevent fainting) when the head nimbus is raised, lowered or swung quickly. in some areas, livestock predation remains a severe problem.
