Hey guys it's Kerry I'm looking at the animals of Zimbabwe today in Africa
rhino this is a white rhino with the squared
lip I'm going to show you my black rhinos which have the hooked lip
they have two nose horns the longest known black rhinoceros horn measured
nearly one and a half meters
their horns are used for defense intimidation and digging up roots and
breaking branches during feeding the black rhino is smaller than the white
rhino it has a pointed and prehensile upper
lip which it uses to grasp leaves and sticks when feeding
this is a black rhino with the hooked lip the black refers to the hooked lip not
its color Hippo
being semi-aquatic they usually inhabit shallow lakes rivers and swamps
The water must be deep enough for the hippo to submerge its entire body
usually about two meters deep is preferred during the daytime Hippos prefer to sleep
in shallow water or occasionally on a mudbank grouped closely together
it is in these waters mating and child birth occur
on land they are able to move at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour

L ion interactions between prides and nomad
lions tends to be hostile although pride females in estrus allow nomadic males to
approach them males can sometimes spend years in a
nomadic phase before gaining residence in a pride
Papa 2003 lion I love the pose and the Lioness is from 2005.
activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socializing grooming and
defecating
intermittent bursts of activity continue until dawn when hunting most often takes
place they spend an average of two hours a day walking and 50 minutes eating
Zebra the stripes vary on zebras depending on where they live zebra's
living in warmer climates tend to have more stripes
they have two sorts of social systems a single stallion that lives with a small
harem of mares with their young and non-harem holding stallions that form
small bands leopard
compared to other wildcats the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body
with a large skull it's very smart with rosettes similar
in appearance to the Jaguar The rosettes are generally smaller more
densely packed and without the central spots that the Jaguar have
it can run at speeds of up to 58 kilometers per hour
African bush elephant it is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls
reaching a shoulder height of nearly four meters a male adult elephant has
the largest penis of any land animal it can reach a length up to one meter and a
diameter of 16 centimeters at the base it is S-shaped when fully erect and has
a Y-shaped orifice during musth a male elephant may urinate with his penis
still in the sheath which causes the urine to spray on the hind legs
the penis is prehensive being able to move independently of the male's pelvis
With reproduction the bull sniffs at the female's genitals to see if she's ready
the male mounts the female from behind and copulation only takes 30 seconds
females prefer males in musth
Giant Sable Antelope like all antelopes they are shy by nature but they can
be very aggressive the males can be especially dangerous when hurt attacked
or even approached in fights males also avoid some serious
injuries by kneeling down on their front legs and engaging horn wrestling fights
Waterbuck as soon as the young males start developing horns at around the age
of seven to nine months they are chased out of the herd by territorial bulls
Honey badger it is primarily a carnivorous species and has few natural predators because of
its thick skin strength and ferocious defensive abilities
They are known to separately and fearlessly attack almost any other
species when escape is impossible Jackal
their long legs and curved canine teeth are adapted for hunting small mammals
birds and reptiles and their large feet and fused leg bones
give them a physique well suited for long distance running capable of
maintaining speeds of 16 kilometers per hour for extended periods
Bushbaby it's a species of small attractive arboreal primates
native to sub-Saharan Africa they are extremely active and agile
