Lion always defend their
territory, be it open woodland or
scrub.
They do it through
urinating to mark the area,
roaring to promote fear and
literally chasing off any
intruders.
These animals will
fight if there are other
predators come into their
territory, including
cheetah.
Cheetahs are considered to be
the world's fastest land
animals.
They can hit speeds
of up to 60 miles per hour
in a matter of seconds.
Cheetahs are slender, which
allows them to move fast, but
they are weak.
Lions can be extremely
aggressive and have been seen
hunting other predator.
They dominate and
promote fear in other animals,
such as cheetahs and leopards, so
that they do not prey the same
time that lions do.
In a race, the cheetah
would simply leave the lion
in its tracks.
Its top speed would be 70 or
even 75 mph if it had the right
running surface.
The lion will be perplexed as to
what kind of machine it was.
That would be the polar
opposite of a physical
altercation.
When a lion manages to creep
up on a cheetah without being
noticed, the poor cheetah is
ripped to shreds in seconds.
A large male lion
can be four to five times the
size of a cheetah.
Lionesses are the same way.
They have retractable
claws that are razor sharp.
Their cuspids, which can be up
to 4 inches long, are
propelled by powerful
muscles.
They're designed to take
down massive prey.
Cheetahs have traded
robustness for agility, in
addition to being much
smaller.
Their bodies are
smaller, their heads and teeth
are smaller, and they are weaker.
Their claws aren't
retractable, and they aren't
particularly sharp.
Because of their
incredible speed, they act
as cleats.
They eat prey that is
much smaller than that of
lions.
Lions can simply take a
cheetah's kill if they arrive
before it has been consumed.
The cheetah had to give up its
reward because it couldn't even
put up a fight.
Zebra stripes appear
in a variety of patterns, each
one unique.
The purpose of these
stripes has been the subject of
several theories, with
the majority of evidence
pointing to them as a type of
defense against biting flies.
Zebras can be found in a
number of habitats
throughout eastern and
southern Africa, including
savannahs, grasslands,
forests, shrublands, and
mountainous areas.
They are preyed on mainly
by lions and leopards.
They typically flee
when threatened but also bite
and kick.
Compared to other wild cats,
the leopard has relatively short
legs and a long body with a
large skull.
Its fur is marked with
rosettes.
It is similar in
appearance to the jaguar, but
has a smaller, lighter
physique, and its rosettes are
generally smaller, more
densely packed and without
central spots.
Both leopards and jaguars that
are melanistic are known as
black panthers.
It can run at speeds of up to
58 kilometres per hour.
