The defassa waterbuck is another type of waterbuck that lives in western and central Africa. Sadly, this big antelope is not seen as often as the other type of waterbuck and is at risk of disappearing. Both types of waterbuck often use water to avoid predators....

Adult lions have very strong claws that are about 3 inches long. Their front paws have 5 toes and 5 claws: 4 toes on the paw and 1 dew claw located above the paw on the inside of the foreleg, which is similar to a thumb. On their back paws, there are 4 toes but no dew claw. So, lions have 5 toes in the front and 4 in the back. This toe arrangement is common among many mammalian predators. All claws are made of keratin, just like our nails and hair.

Cheetahs are not fighters - there may be a bit of
"ruff and tumble" on the odd occasions but
generally speaking, they are 'mild-mannered' big
cats. They are not territorial, so no territories but
do have large home ranges.
* Territories are often patrolled and protected.
Territories are fought over; not home ranges
(this is the simple and standard description --of
course, there are exceptions in either case, but
generally speaking (once again) ...

Let me share an example just how bad they can
get out of hand when no older bulls are around
(as targets for legal poaching — trophy hunting).
We know boosting the rhino's population is such
a difficult thing to accomplish and these juvenile
delinquents made the rhino conservationists
work even more difficult! In certain areas, where
fragile rhino populations were carefully
managed. A few naughty (to put it mildly)
younger bulls (20 - 25 - 30 years old) were out
of control due to the older bull's absence.

These highly sexually-charged, in musth, young
boys tried to mate with the rhinos - severely
injuring and even killing a few. Now, some of
you may Say, ‘but, that's natural...’.

No, it isn't.

If the wilds if it were as it should be, it would not
ever happen. Elephant populations would be
balanced. Those older bulls are crucial and
should always be with, or near, those youngsters
to control them (those youngsters can also
damage too much vegetation),
* elephants fight by showing physical
strength/power. Physical injuries are rare.

Look at the long toes on this bird!

Jacanas are wading birds found worldwide, but
in Tropical environments. For obvious reasons,
they are also called the Jesus bird or Lilly-
trotter.

Whenever you see any animal with a definite
and unusual trait, always know that is a clear
sign of evolution. An adaptation to survive
because these birds really need those long toes
and toenails because they allow them to spread
out their weight while foraging on floating or
semi-emergent aquatic vegetation -- like lilies.

* No other bird has these long toes and toenails
in comparison with their body size.

The male warthog's tusks
(are actually modified teeth) can grow 10 to 25 inches (25 to 64 centimetres).

The females show smaller tusks because they don't need them to fight but have them because they need them to dig and similar survival functions.

* Native to Africa and not threatened with extinction
(both closely similar-looking types of warthog -- the desert and common warthog).

Lions must approach their prey at a distance of no more than 30 meters (100 feet) since they are slow and lack endurance.
For them, using tall grass and the cover of night increases the likelihood of a successful hunt. As previously stated, lionesses move more quickly than lions, and neither sexe has much endurance.

But we also know that most of the hunting is done by the lionesses. I'll elaborate by adding that while the lioness is swift, she can only run for two to three minutes at a time [when pursuing a kill].
