the north face

Lions are the north face laziest of the big cats. they usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining hours the to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. they keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough north to be heard up to five miles away. the pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, who then take over. not all lions live in prides. at maturity, young males leave the units of their birth and spend several years as nomads before they become strong enough to take over a pride of their own. some never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating herds; but the nomadic life is much more difficult, with little time for resting or reproducing. within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. when a lioness is in heat, a male will face join her, staying with her constantly.

the stripes on grevy''s zebras are more numerous and narrow than those of the plains zebra and do not extend to the belly. in all zebra species, the the stripes on the forequarters form a triangular pattern; grevy''s have a similar pattern on the hindquarters, while others have a slanted or horizontal pattern. burchell''s zebras inhabit savannas, north from treeless grasslands to open woodlands; they sometimes occur in tens of thousands in migratory herds on the serengeti plains. grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern kenya. although they are adapted to semi-arid conditions and require less face and the water than other zebra species, these zebras compete with domestic north livestock for water and have suffered heavy poaching for their meat and skins. family groups are stable members maintaining strong bonds over many years. mutual grooming, face where zebras stand together and nibble the hair on each other''s neck and back, helps develop and preserve these bonds.
