Wonderful Lions cubs on The Road

Discovery Animals 2021-09-02 | When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.

Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.

Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.

If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.

Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.

The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.

Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.

Are white lion cubs albinos?
White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

Giant Afirican Bull Elephnats Encounter in Real Life

Discovery Animals 2021-09-01 | The African elephant is the largest animal walking the Earth. Their herds wander through 37 countries in Africa. They are easily recognized by their trunk that is used for communication and handling objects. And their large ears allow them to radiate excess heat. Upper incisor teeth develop into tusks in African elephants and grow throughout their lifetime. There are two subspecies of African elephants—the Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Savanna elephants are larger than forest elephants, and their tusks curve outwards. In addition to being smaller, forest elephants are darker and their tusks are straighter and point downward. There are also differences in the size and shape of the skull and skeleton between the two subspecies.

Forest elephants, a distinct subspecies of African elephants, are uniquely adapted to the forest habitat of the Congo Basin, but are in sharp decline due to poaching for the international ivory trade. It is estimated that probably one quarter to one third of the total African elephant population is made up of forest elephants.

Giant Elephants Swimming

Discovery Animals 2021-08-23 | Elephants can swim – they use their trunk to breathe like a snorkel in deep water. ... In a day, an elephant can drink 50 gallons (200 liters) of water. An elephant's trunk can hold 2.5 gallons of water. Elephants have been known to learn more than 60 commands.

As of 2002, it was estimated that 30,000 – 50,000 Asian elephants survive in the world; some experts believe that in 2017 the number is closer to 30,000.
More than 13,000 of the above number are maintained in human care in Asian elephant range countries.
There are only 10 regions in all of Asia where elephant numbers total at least 1,000 individual animals.
Although some African elephant populations are still increasing in excess of the carrying capacity of their habitat, elephants in many countries in East, Central and West Africa are subject to poaching and populations are being decimated.
Consistently throughout Asia and Africa, human elephant conflict is on the rise. As humans increase our food supply to meet the needs of our population, existing elephant habitat is turned into cropland and the elephants find themselves competing for resources with people.
Elephants have hair all over their bodies.
Elephants have eyelashes.
The African elephant is the largest living land mammal.
The elephant trunk serves as a nose, a hand, an extra foot, a signaling device and a tool for gathering food, siphoning water, dusting, digging and much more.
Elephants can live in nearly any habitat that has adequate quantities of food and water. Ideally, their habitat consists of an abundance of grass and browse depending depending on the species.
Only the male Asian elephants have tusks.
The tusks of elephants grow through their life. The tusks can weigh over 200 pounds.
Elephants don’t drink with their trunks, but use them as “tools” to drink with. This is accomplished by filling the trunk with water and then using it as a hose to pour it into the elephant’s mouth.
Elephants can swim – they use their trunk to breathe like a snorkel in deep water.
Elephants have a slow pulse of 27 and for a canary it is 1000!
The elephant is the only mammal that can’t jump.
The elephant’s gestation period is 22 months.
The elephant is the national animal of Thailand.
An elephant’s tooth can weight as much as three kilograms.
An elephant in the wild can eat anywhere from 100 – 1000 pounds of vegetation in a 16 hour period.
The intestines of an elephant may be 19 meters in length, or more than 60 feet long.
Elephants purr like cats do, as a means of communication.
In a day, an elephant can drink 50 gallons (200 liters) of water.
An elephant’s trunk can hold 2.5 gallons of water

Amazing Elephants Around African River

Discovery Animals 2021-08-18 | African elephants are the largest living land animals. Once
numbering millions across the African continent, their
populations had been decimated by the mid-1980s by
systematic poaching. The status of the species now varies
greatly across Africa. Some populations remain
endangered due to poaching for meat and ivory, habitat
loss, and conflict with humans, while others are secure and
expanding.
There are two sub-species of African
elephant:
1. The savannah elephant (L. a. africana), also known as
the bush elephant, is the largest elephant in the world, with
a maximum shoulder height of 4m and weighing up to
7,500kg. It is recognizable by its large outward-curving
tusks, and it lives throughout the grassy plains and
woodlands of the continent, particularly in eastern and
southern areas. Some populations in eastern and southern
Africa are expanding.
2. The forest elephant (L. a. cyclotis) is smaller and darker
than the savannah elephant, has straighter,
downward-pointing tusks, and lives in central and western
Africa’s equatorial forests. Forest elephants are more
generally threatened than the savannah sub-species due
to poaching and loss of forest habitat.
Elephant numbers vary greatly over the 37 range states;
some populations remain endangered, while others are
now secure. For example, most countries in West Africa
count their elephants in tens or hundreds, with animals
scattered in small blocks of isolated forest; probably only
three countries in this region have more than 1,000
animals. In contrast, elephant populations in southern
Africa are large and expanding, with some 300,000
elephants now roaming across the sub-region.

What are the problems facing African
elephants?
Poaching and the ivory trade
The international demand for elephant tusk ivory was so
great in the 20th century that the African elephant came
close to extinction in parts of its range. A valuable
commodity, ivory is used in carvings, jewellery, name
seals, and other artefacts. As a result, between 1950 and
1985, ivory exports from Africa grew from 200 to 1,000
tonnes per annum, with most of the ivory taken from
poached elephants.
In 1989, the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
banned the international trade in ivory. Since then, only
very limited, well-controlled ivory sales have been
permitted from southern African countries with high
elephant numbers. However, there are still some thriving
but unregulated domestic ivory markets in a number of
countries, some of which have few elephants of their
own remaining. These domestic ivory markets fuel an
illegal international trade, leading to continued poaching.
A recent assessment of 22 ivory markets in Africa and
Asia estimated that more than 12,000 elephants are
needed each year to feed the demand of these markets.
In central Africa, elephants are also poached for their
meat. Precise levels of this poaching are unclear, and
many governments have inadequate resources to
monitor or protect their elephants.

Lions Pride Life So Amazing Lionesses

Discovery Animals 2021-08-17 | Lions roar more frequently when they are near to water, when it's humid, and on calm windless nights, a new study of nearly 1,000 big cat roars in Zimbabwe has found. The data gained from custom-built collars is helping scientists better understand the animals' habits, and the threats they face.

The study using new technology developed by researchers from the University of Oxford was undertaken in the Bubye Valley Conservancy, a privately-owned wildlife sanctuary in the arid south-west of the country that is home to around 500 lions and other members of the Big Five.

“Water has been shown in previous studies to be a key resource for lions. It supports prey. It can also be used for breeding sites,” said Matthew Wijers, a post-doctoral researcher at Oxford’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit and lead author of the study published in the current edition of the journal Animal Behaviour.

“I personally encountered many lions giving birth to cubs along the river lines. So I think those features in particular are high-value resources that they try and protect.”

Discovering how often lions roar near water -- where that water is within their home range -- still came as a surprise.

“It makes sense in theory, but to actually see that shown in the data is interesting,” Wijers told RFI.

New way to detect roars

To gather the data the scientists had to think out of the box. Audio recording devices are heavy on batteries, and run flat within a few days. So the research team used custom-built accelerometer biologgers attached to collars fitted on the lions that were able to gather data over a much longer period. When lions roar they move their heads and necks, and those movements are captured on the biologgers.

The research team then developed a computer algorithm that automatically matched the movement data with roars, and the precise locations of the lions when they roared were pinpointed by GPS devices also fitted to the animals’ collars.

"I’m really glad it worked because it does open up this new way of detecting roars,” Wijers said.

Nine-hundred and ninety roars later, he and his team made several important findings.

One was that lion roars were made more frequently in the early evening, continued throughout the night and peaked shortly before dawn. Another was that lions avoided roaring outside their home ranges within the 850,000-acre conservancy.

"This avoidance behaviour can be attributed to the increased costs of engaging in conflict with other territorial males and the reduced benefits of vocalizing away from owned resources," the researchers wrote in their paper.

It was also found that lions like to roar when air temperatures are low, humidity high and there's not much wind.

Populations in decline

Cool, humid air allows sound to travel further than warm, dry air, while excessive wind “masks” the frequency bands that roars travel in, Wijers explained.

"High winds create a lot of noise so in choosing to avoid those periods they obviously recognise there’s not a lot of benefit in doing so,” he said.

"The atmospheric and weather conditions mentioned in the report definitely does play a role in the acoustics of roaring," said Norman Monks, head of the African Lion and Environmental Research Trust, a conservation group based in Zimbabwe's resort town of Victoria Falls.

Monks, who was not part of the study, told RFI: "I think that this study is very sound and interesting and confirms scientifically and statistically what many of us bush scientists have suspected from casual observation."

Knowing where and when lions are likely to roar will help researchers to know where to set up recording devices, known as passive acoustic monitoring equipment, on trees. This is a less intrusive way of gathering information on lions than putting collars on them.

Africa’s lion populations have declined dramatically over the last century mainly due to habitat loss, and from conflict with humans whose livestock they sometimes prey on.

Keeping tabs on their numbers and their movements plays a key part in conserving these iconic animals.

Cute Gorillas San Francisco Zoo

Discovery Animals 2021-08-10 | Gorilla moms have a roughly 8.5-month long gestation period, and infants weight about 1.4 – 1.8 kg (4 lb) when they’re born. That’s half the weight of the average human infant! However, gorillas grow faster and reach maturity around 12 years old. By the time they’re adults, gorillas end up weighing more than the average human. For males, this is between 136 – 219 kgs, or 300 – 485 lbs and for females, around 90 – 113 kg, or 200-250 lbs.

Moms typically will always be in close physical contact with their infants for about half a year after they’re born. This helps keep the infant safe, lets mom keep track of the baby during active moments like foraging or traveling, and provides comfort for the infant. At around 3 months of age, gorilla infants will start to manipulate objects and explore their environment. Around 8 months, they’ll be walking and exploring within a few feet of mom. As they gets older and braver they will range further (frequently with support from siblings and other juveniles).
Infants and their moms remain in close proximity to each other and share a very close relationship for the infant’s first few years. Other related females will sometimes try to help out, especially young siblings of the infant. When the infant is young, the mother will try to shoo the curious gorillas away. However, as the baby gorilla gets older and starts venturing away from its mother, juveniles will participate in the young gorilla’s life. They do this through activities such as infant carrying and playing.
Fossey Fund researchers are typically able to determine paternity through observations and genetic analysis, but gorilla infants don’t know who their dad is. There are a couple reasons for this: mountain gorilla groups can have multiple silverbacks which may have bred with the mother, or an infant’s mom may have transferred from a different group. Researchers have also determined that infants don’t show a preference for spending time with their biological fathers versus other silverbacks, further supporting the idea that the infant doesn’t know who their real dad is.
Adult male mountain gorillas don’t know which infant is theirs, but they spend time caring for and socializing with older infants. One famous example is the silverback Cantsbee, who was known to “babysit” five or six infants while their mothers were foraging. Research has also shown that blackback (immature) mountain gorilla males who spend more time playing with infants and juveniles are more likely to sire offspring once they become silverbacks. For an amazing story about a silverback stepping up in a time of crisis and providing care for infants read

Wonderful Rhino Life In Africa Feeding on Grass

Discovery Animals 2021-08-08 | Black rhinos are the smaller of the two African rhino species. The most notable difference between white and black rhinos are their hooked upper lip. This distinguishes them from the white rhino, which has a square lip. Black rhinos are browsers rather than grazers, and their pointed lip helps them feed on leaves from bushes and trees. They have two horns, and occasionally a third, small posterior horn.

Populations of black rhino declined dramatically in the 20th century at the hands of European hunters and settlers. Between 1960 and 1995, black rhino numbers dropped by a sobering 98%, to less than 2,500. Since then, the species has made a tremendous comeback from the brink of extinction. Thanks to persistent conservation efforts across Africa, black rhino numbers have doubled from their historic low 20 years ago to around 5,600 today. However, the black rhino is still considered critically endangered, and a lot of work remains to bring the numbers up to even a fraction of what it once was—and to ensure that it stays there. Wildlife crime—in this case, poaching and black-market trafficking of rhino horn—continues to plague the species and threaten its recovery.

Tawny Eagle Feeds On Puff Adder Snake for lunch

Discovery Animals 2021-08-04 | Tawny Eagle feeds on all kinds of carrion, usually fresh, often killed by other raptors. It also consumes small mammals as rabbits, small and medium-sized rodents, lizards and snakes. Crickets, grasshoppers and flying termites are eaten, according to the season. They also feed on birds of guinea-fowl’s size, injured or sick individuals.
They also may steal food to other raptors, smaller or larger than them. Tawny Eagle kills its own prey on the ground.

Tawny Eagle A medium-large, highly variable eagle that can range in overall color from whitish or creamy dull rufous to grayish-brown, and rarely dark brown. It has a moderately long gape line that stops at the center of the eye and slit-shaped nostrils. Legs are short and heavily feathered, with baggy “trousers.” Juveniles are generally paler than adults, while older immatures can have a dark hood and pale body. Mostly a bird of plains and open scrub; rarely seen over water, and avoids forests. Overall not as heavy looking as the Steppe Eagle, and never has a rich brown color tone.

How Do African Bush Elephants Find Water Underground - Digging For Water Tale of the Trunk

Discovery Animals 2021-08-03 | During the dry season, when water is low, an elephant will dig holes to find underground springs, drawing as much as two gallons at a time with its trunk. The water holes also give elephants access to important mineral sources buried deep below the surface.

While these open wells provide a water source for thirsty elephants, other wildlife also depend on them for survival. After elephants leave an area, smaller creatures rush to the watering holes dug by the elephants. Throughout their daily lives, elephants are the landscape architects essential for creating worn paths through the thick forests, excavating trees in the open savannahs, and unearthing water wherever it is needed.

Plucking fruit from trees with their flexible trunks, elephants feed themselves — and help forests regenerate. After having walked many miles, the elephants excrete the seeds of the fruit, which sprout in fertile dung piles and create new trees in other parts of the forest. Recent studies have shown that 90 different tree species depend on hungry elephants in order to prosper. Without elephants, Africa would look vastly different.

Discovery Animals 2021-07-31 | Hippos weigh just about 100 pounds when they’re born. Considering adult hippos are the second-largest land mammal after elephants and weigh about 3,000 pounds, this doesn’t really seem like all that much.
However, a baby pygmy hippo, as pictured above, will weigh just a little more than a large human baby. They’ll be about 13 or 14 pounds at birth.

2. They Can Suckle Underwater
Hippos spend a total of 16 hours a day underwater, so the babies have to be able to suckle submerged. Luckily, they can close their ears and their nostrils and get food from mama without breathing in water! Baby hippos will suckle for about a year.

3. However, They Can't Swim
Hippos, baby or full grown adult, can’t really swim in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, they just kind of push off of the bottom and “float” around in the water, although they are too heavy to actually float. They also walk along the bottom in shallower areas.

4. Babies Are At Risk Of Attack From Male Adults
Mother hippos have to protect their young from male hippos. Grown males don’t attack on land, but they will attack and often kill baby hippos under water. There has been a lot of research on why animals kill their young, and it happens for many reasons depending on the particular circumstances.

5. The Dry Season Is The Perfect Time For Conception
There is usually one dominant male in the herd of hippos that can mate with any adult female in the pack, and this will happen during the dry season. This is so that the baby will be born during the wettest part of the year, during which there is enough sustenance to go around.

6. Mamas Are Pregnant For Eight Months
Compared to, say, an elephant’s gestation period of 22 months, eight months is basically a blink of an eye. Heck, us humans carry our babies for longer!

7. Only One Baby Is Born At A Time
Twin hippos do occur, but it is incredibly rare. In 1988, twins were born on Christmas morning at the Memphis Zoo for the first time in captivity in 25 years. The norm is for one calf to be born at a time, as that’s all a mother can really manage on her own.

8. Mom Separates From The Pack When Ready To Give Birth
Wikimedia Commons / frank wouters
When a mama hippo is ready to give birth, she will go off on her own to have her baby and to bond with the calf for a week or two. When she returns to the pod, the female community will help defend from predators.

9. Female Babies Grow To Maturity Faster Than Males
As the babies turn to adults, the females are ready to mate as early as three or four years old, but normally closer to five or six. Males take longer to mature, and are ready to reproduce at about 7.5 years old.

10. The First Hippo Ultrasound Was Finally Captured In 2017
The Cincinnati Zoo captured the first ever Nile hippo ultrasound in January of this year. 17-year-old Bibi the hippo let her caretakers take the images of the little hippo fetus in her big belly, which is uncommon behavior for hippos. The large mammals are typically very hard to train.

Rare Footage : Orangutan Playing With Siamangs Monkey

Discovery Animals 2021-07-29 | Orangutans spend most of their lives in trees forests in Sumatra and Borneo. They get their food from the trees, and they build nests in the branches to sleep in. Their long arms help them swing from tree to tree. They use their hands and feet to grab and hold tree branches and food. Orangutans are very smart. They sit under leafy branches for protection from rain and sun, and sometimes even put a very large leaf on their head like a rain hat!

Siamangs are arboreal inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatran rain and monsoon forests. Their distinguishing feature is a large throat sac that they use to make socially important vocalizations. These primates are endangered due to illegal pet trade and habitat loss.

African Buffalo Enjoying Mud Bath - Safari Life

Discovery Animals 2021-07-26 | Historically, African buffalos were found throughout most of sub-Sahara Africa. Today their distribution is considerably reduced and in many areas largely limited to reserves. Their habitat is fragmented in many areas by human activity and their numbers have been hugely reduced since the late 1800s from the introduced rinderpest epidemics, resulting in extirpations. African buffaloes are still distributed throughout Africa, and different portions of their range are occupied by different subspecies. In the past, morphologically diverse populations of Syncerus caffer have been associated with at least 92 scientific names, many of which were considered species, not subspecies. Today we consider the species polytypic, with three to four subspecies commonly recognized.

Syncerus caffer caffer, classic Cape or savannah buffalo, is found in the east and south, starting in southwest Ethiopia and through Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Malawi. The distribution is patchier through Angola, Mozambique, and Swaziland. In South Africa they are well distributed, except in the southeast and southwest, where they are absent.

Syncerus caffer nanus, forest buffalo, is found in the rainforests of west and central Africa. Their distribution is split into two main groups. The first is located from south Guinea moving east through Sierra Leone, Liberia, south Ivory Coast and southwest Ghana. The second distribution begins just to the west of the Nigeria-Cameroon border in south Cameroon, encompassing the area south along the coast including the Republic of the Congo and east, the north half of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a piece of southwest Central African Republic. A contact zone occurs with Syncerus caffer caffer on the west end, following the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Syncerus caffer brachyceros is the West Africa savannah buffalo. Its distribution lies just north of Syncerus caffer nanus, starting at south Senegal and north Guinea and continuing through southwest Mali, north Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Benin. Like Syncerus caffer nanus, the distribution is divided. The distribution begins at the Nigeria-Cameroon border and encompasses north Cameroon and the western edge of the Central African Republic. Along the southern edge of their border, they share a contact zone with Syncerus caffer nanus.

Giraffes Bulls Learning How To Fight

Discovery Animals 2021-07-25 | The giraffe and its closest relative the okapi are the last survivors of the once plentiful Giraffidae family. While the okapi is a solitary, forest dwelling creature rarely seen, the giraffe is a true show stopper, herds of which wander in surprising abundance across the African savanna.

Today the giraffe is the tallest animal on Earth, with males topping out at about 18 feet at the tip of the horns (called occicones), and 11 feet at the shoulder.

Although no fossil trail exists, it is assumed the giraffe developed its remarkable physique and out-survived its relatives, by reaching for the treetops.

As taller individuals ate leaves and fruits unavailable to shorter individuals, the giraffe thrived, and became more and more specialized. While the 6 to 8 foot long, 600 pound neck is most obvious, the giraffes entire body is a masterpiece of specialization.

Viewed from the side, the giraffes shoulder region is towering, with a highly elongated pectoral girdle which gives the illusion that the front legs are longer than the rear. Front and rear legs are about the same length, however, between 5.5 and 6 feet long.

While the relatively short back has vertebrae of a median size, the vertebrae of the neck, are stretched to about 11 inches long, They still have the standard 7 neck vertebrae found in most mammals, including us, but they are not only elongated, but also articulate far more than ours.

The neck is supported by powerful muscles and reinforced ligaments which anchor to vertebrae between the shoulder blades, and form a hump where the back and neck meet.

The head is refined, streamlined and equipped with an 18 inch long tongue for even further reach.

Both males and females have horns known as "occicones", which are formed from cartilage and covered with skin. Females have thinner occicones, that are tufted with longer hair on top. Males occicones are larger, have knobs on the ends, and become bald on top as they mature.

Giraffes live in very loose groups of 3 to 40 or so, mostly related individuals. They are not territorial, and their social structure is very peaceful and cooperative..

Though the giraffe is the worlds tallest animal, it is, by mammal standards, remarkably peaceful, with very little territorial drive. Even aggression between adult bulls is limited to largely harmless "necking" displays.

Males and females mingle, young are protected by herd members, and individuals take turns looking out for eachother while drinking or napping.

Giraffes have a "fission-fusion" society, that means groups come together and break apart freely, and friendships and alliances are loose and varied.

African Elephants Desert Life

Discovery Animals 2021-07-23 | African elephants are the largest living land animals. Once
numbering millions across the African continent, their
populations had been decimated by the mid-1980s by
systematic poaching. The status of the species now varies
greatly across Africa. Some populations remain
endangered due to poaching for meat and ivory, habitat
loss, and conflict with humans, while others are secure and
expanding.
There are two sub-species of African
elephant:
1. The savannah elephant (L. a. africana), also known as
the bush elephant, is the largest elephant in the world, with
a maximum shoulder height of 4m and weighing up to
7,500kg. It is recognizable by its large outward-curving
tusks, and it lives throughout the grassy plains and
woodlands of the continent, particularly in eastern and
southern areas. Some populations in eastern and southern
Africa are expanding.
2. The forest elephant (L. a. cyclotis) is smaller and darker
than the savannah elephant, has straighter,
downward-pointing tusks, and lives in central and western
Africa’s equatorial forests. Forest elephants are more
generally threatened than the savannah sub-species due
to poaching and loss of forest habitat.
Elephant numbers vary greatly over the 37 range states;
some populations remain endangered, while others are
now secure. For example, most countries in West Africa
count their elephants in tens or hundreds, with animals
scattered in small blocks of isolated forest; probably only
three countries in this region have more than 1,000
animals. In contrast, elephant populations in southern
Africa are large and expanding, with some 300,000
elephants now roaming across the sub-region.

What are the problems facing African
elephants?
Poaching and the ivory trade
The international demand for elephant tusk ivory was so
great in the 20th century that the African elephant came
close to extinction in parts of its range. A valuable
commodity, ivory is used in carvings, jewellery, name
seals, and other artefacts. As a result, between 1950 and
1985, ivory exports from Africa grew from 200 to 1,000
tonnes per annum, with most of the ivory taken from
poached elephants.
In 1989, the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
banned the international trade in ivory. Since then, only
very limited, well-controlled ivory sales have been
permitted from southern African countries with high
elephant numbers. However, there are still some thriving
but unregulated domestic ivory markets in a number of
countries, some of which have few elephants of their
own remaining. These domestic ivory markets fuel an
illegal international trade, leading to continued poaching.
A recent assessment of 22 ivory markets in Africa and
Asia estimated that more than 12,000 elephants are
needed each year to feed the demand of these markets.
In central Africa, elephants are also poached for their
meat. Precise levels of this poaching are unclear, and
many governments have inadequate resources to
monitor or protect their elephants.

Leopard Mom Protect and Feed Cubs

Discovery Animals 2021-07-22 | Leopards are astoundingly strong. They are pound for pound the strongest of the big cats. They are able to climb trees, even when carrying heavy prey, and often choose to rest on tree branches during the day. One reason why leopards sometimes take their prey up in the trees is to ensure lions or hyenas can’t steal them.
Leopards are renowned for their agility. They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically. They are also very strong swimmers.

The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild.
Leopards are predominantly solitary animals that have large territories. While male territories are larger than females and tend to overlap, individuals usually only tolerate intrusion into ranges for mating. They mark their ranges with urine and leave claw marks on trees to warn others to stay away.
Like cats kept as companions, leopards will growl when angry and purr when content. They have various vocalisations such as a rasping cough which they perform to announce their presence to other leopards.
Leopards tend to have two or three cubs per gestation. Mothers refrain from wandering their territories after giving birth until their young are capable to come with them. Cubs suckle for around 3 months and are kept hidden for about the first 8 weeks to protect them from predators.

Leopards tend to have distinctive dark spots called rosettes, which create beautiful patterns against their otherwise light fur. Black leopards however have dark fur which makes it difficult to see the spots. They appear almost solid black and are often called black panthers.
During the National Geographic programme ‘Eye of the Leopard’, a wild leopard killed a baboon in order to feed herself. However upon noticing an infant baboon clinging to the dead baboon, the leopard amazingly carried the infant up to the safety of the tree to guard her from hyenas. She groomed and cuddled the baby throughout the night, caring for him/her as she would her own cub.
Leopards have the widest range of habitats of all the big cats. This adaptability has allowed them to survive in various different geographic areas. Perhaps the most extreme example is the amazing snow leopard which lives in the Himalayas.
Throughout history, leopards have been depicted in artwork, mythology and folklore in numerous countries. They are also now commonly used as an emblem in sports in much of Africa.

Cool Friends of Bonobos Life In Africa

Discovery Animals 2021-07-21 | Bonobos and chimpanzees look very similar and both share 98.7% of their DNA with humans—making the two species our closest living relatives. Bonobos are usually a bit smaller, leaner and darker than chimpanzees. Their society is also different—bonobo groups tend to be more peaceful and are led by females. They also maintain relationships and settle conflicts through sex. However, bonobo life isn’t entirely violence free; if two groups of bonobos come together, they may engage in serious fighting.

Wild bonobos can only be found in forests south of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Sometimes known as the pygmy chimpanzee, bonobos weren’t recognized as a separate species until 1929. As the last great ape to be scientifically described, much remains unknown about the bonobo—including the extent of its geographic range. Efforts to survey the species over the past two decades have been hampered by the remote nature of its habitat, the patchiness of their distribution and years of civil unrest within the DRC.

Civil unrest and increasing poverty in the area around the bonobos’ forests have contributed to bonobo poaching and deforestation. Though the size of the bonobo population is largely unknown, it has likely been declining for the last 30 years. Scientists believe that the decline will continue for the next 45 to 55 years due to the bonobo’s low reproductive rate and growing threats.

Lions Cubs Amazing Life

Discovery Animals 2021-07-20 | When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.

Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.

Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.

If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.

Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.

The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.

Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.

Are white lion cubs albinos?
White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

Wonderful Elephants Life In Africa

Discovery Animals 2021-07-19 | AN ELEPHANT’S PREGNANCY IS AN AVERAGE OF 22 MONTHS.
Elephants are highly-intelligent creatures. They can recognize themselves in mirrors and they have different forms of communication. For them to develop such complex abilities, they need lots of time to build their brains.

Between the two different types of elephants, African elephants have the most prolonged pregnancy. Their gestation is a total of 22 months, while Asian elephants have a pregnancy of about 21.5 and 22 months.

A BABY ELEPHANT IS CALLED A CALF.
It’s common for animals to have different names for them when they are babies. For example, cats are called kittens and bears are called cubs. One of the basic Asian and African elephant facts is that when elephants are infants, they are called calves.

They outgrow the name of calves when they become juveniles. Depending on what their gender is and what they’re named. Female elephants are called cows, and male elephants are called bulls. You can see how the names all relate to each other.

AN ELEPHANT CALF CAN WEIGH UP TO 200 POUNDS AND BE 3 FEET TALL.
Elephants are the largest land mammal and that means they have some of the biggest babies. Two fascinating Asian and African elephant facts are elephant calves can weigh up to 200 pounds and be as tall as 3 feet. They get to be this big because of their long gestation periods.

ELEPHANT CALVES AREN’T BORN WITH MANY SURVIVAL INSTINCTS.
Yes, elephants are intelligent creatures. However, when they are born, they don’t have many survival instincts like other animals. Just like humans, they rely on their mothers to learn all their survival skills.

AN ELEPHANT CALF RELIES ON THEIR MOTHER FOR EVERYTHING.
Since the day an elephant calf is born, it relies heavily on its mother. The calves get their nutrients from their mother’s milk for the first few years. They get weaned off between five to 10 years. Typically, this is the time when they can survive on solid vegetation like grasses.

During the infant stage, they rely heavily on their mothers for nutrients, hygiene and to learn survival skills. They learn how to use their trunks for feeding, drinking and bathing. Plus, they learn everything about how to avoid dangers. Just like humans, the infant years are critical to learning necessary survival skills.

ZOO ELEPHANT DEATH RATES HAVE SURPASSED BIRTH RATES. (3 BIRTHS VS. 5 DEATHS ANNUALLY)
Sadly, research has shown that elephants aren’t self-sustaining in zoos. Meaning that birth rates are declining, and if these rates don’t improve, it could lead to “captive extinction” for elephants.

The reason behind these declines is the increase in infertility rates. In seven years, the infertility rates have gone from 22 percent to 45 percent. Some factors behind high infertility rates in zoos have to due with the captive elephants' lack of exercise and high- calorie diets that affect their ovarian cycles.

With research, we can help stop captive extinction and improve the birth rates of elephants in zoos and the wild. At For Elephants, we are using science to make informed conservation changes. Help contribute to our research by making a small donation or purchasing our For Elephants apparel.

sighting Of The Life : Warthogs Fighting So Bad

Discovery Animals 2021-07-17 | The warthog is a tough, sturdy animal. Males weigh 9 to 23 kilograms (20 to 50 pounds) more than females, but both are distinguished by disproportionately large heads and “warts” — thick protective pads that appear on both sides of the head. Their large tusks are unusual: the two upper tusks emerge from the sides of the snout to form a semicircle; the lower tusks, at the base of the uppers, are worn to a sharp-cutting edge. Sparse bristles cover their body, and longer bristles form a mane from the top of the head down the spine to the middle of the back. Their long tail ends with a tuft of bristles. Warthogs characteristically carry their tails upright when they run, the tuft waving like a tiny flag.

Sabyinyo Silverback Gorillas in The Mountain

Discovery Animals 2021-07-15 | Gorilla moms have a roughly 8.5-month long gestation period, and infants weight about 1.4 – 1.8 kg (4 lb) when they’re born. That’s half the weight of the average human infant! However, gorillas grow faster and reach maturity around 12 years old. By the time they’re adults, gorillas end up weighing more than the average human. For males, this is between 136 – 219 kgs, or 300 – 485 lbs and for females, around 90 – 113 kg, or 200-250 lbs.

Moms typically will always be in close physical contact with their infants for about half a year after they’re born. This helps keep the infant safe, lets mom keep track of the baby during active moments like foraging or traveling, and provides comfort for the infant. At around 3 months of age, gorilla infants will start to manipulate objects and explore their environment. Around 8 months, they’ll be walking and exploring within a few feet of mom. As they gets older and braver they will range further (frequently with support from siblings and other juveniles).
Infants and their moms remain in close proximity to each other and share a very close relationship for the infant’s first few years. Other related females will sometimes try to help out, especially young siblings of the infant. When the infant is young, the mother will try to shoo the curious gorillas away. However, as the baby gorilla gets older and starts venturing away from its mother, juveniles will participate in the young gorilla’s life. They do this through activities such as infant carrying and playing.
Fossey Fund researchers are typically able to determine paternity through observations and genetic analysis, but gorilla infants don’t know who their dad is. There are a couple reasons for this: mountain gorilla groups can have multiple silverbacks which may have bred with the mother, or an infant’s mom may have transferred from a different group. Researchers have also determined that infants don’t show a preference for spending time with their biological fathers versus other silverbacks, further supporting the idea that the infant doesn’t know who their real dad is.
Adult male mountain gorillas don’t know which infant is theirs, but they spend time caring for and socializing with older infants. One famous example is the silverback Cantsbee, who was known to “babysit” five or six infants while their mothers were foraging. Research has also shown that blackback (immature) mountain gorilla males who spend more time playing with infants and juveniles are more likely to sire offspring once they become silverbacks. For an amazing story about a silverback stepping up in a time of crisis and providing care for infants read

Wildbeast Migration Mara River Crossing

Discovery Animals 2021-07-14 | African wildebeests are like clueless couples that get hacked to pieces in horror movies. Time after time, year after year, giant herds of the animals creep to the edge of the Mara River in Kenya and start to drink, seemingly oblivious to danger.

The spectacle in countless nature documentaries can bring viewers to the edge of their seats. They want to warn them. There are huge crocodiles in the river! Don’t they see the danger? But by this point, the herd is already leaping into the water, the crocs have grabbed a few by their throats and are logrolling to rip away limbs. In no time, the hoofs of hundreds of dead wildebeests are pointing skyward.

It looks awful, but according to a surprising new report led by researchers at Yale University, the yearly massacre of 6,000 wildebeest on the Serengeti is good for the Mara River watershed.
Bleeding-heart sympathizers have proposed to help migrating wildebeests, perhaps by building a bridge. That’s a terrible idea, Subalusky said. Right now, “hundreds of birds and crocodiles and fish and hyenas and mongoose are benefiting.”

When the spectacle of death ends with carcasses littering the river, the flesh falls away into the muddy water, where everything from vultures to tiny organisms feed. Beneath the water’s surface, bones from thousands of bodies take up to seven years to break down. “Their persistent influence on the river system is like slow-release fertilizer capsules” feeding plants, she said.

Scientists who study ecosystems try to see the big picture as opposed to a flash of drama. Subalusky and her team — study co-authors Christopher Dutton, Emma Rosi and David Post — aimed to understand how animals move resources. Wildebeests not only nourish the river by dying there en mass, they also nourish the land in spots where they poop and where they decompose after being eaten by lions or other predators.
But its role in the wildebeest migration fascinated her. The animals see storms on the horizon and move toward them, knowing that the grass they eat grows after the rain. “They’re driven by such a strong instinct to follow those rains that they cross the river. It’s a tragic thing to observe, actually,” she said.

Tragic and mesmerizing. Millions of wildebeests live on the Serengeti, but they don’t all go to the river at once. They go in clans of tens of thousands. They don’t appear to be aware of the fate that awaits them. Subalusky said they sometimes crossed the river in the morning and traveled back in the afternoon, happily greeted by crocodiles.

“It reeks, and it smells really terrible when it happens,” she said. Still, “it is very moving to watch. You really never see that — hundreds of huge animals drowning.”

It’s common for animals to have different names for them when they are babies. For example, cats are called kittens and bears are called cubs. One of the basic Asian and African elephant facts is that when elephants are infants, they are called calves.

They outgrow the name of calves when they become juveniles. Depending on what their gender is and what they’re named. Female elephants are called cows, and male elephants are called bulls. You can see how the names all relate to each other.

AN ELEPHANT CALF CAN WEIGH UP TO 200 POUNDS AND BE 3 FEET TALL.
Elephants are the largest land mammal and that means they have some of the biggest babies. Two fascinating Asian and African elephant facts are elephant calves can weigh up to 200 pounds and be as tall as 3 feet. They get to be this big because of their long gestation periods.

ELEPHANT CALVES AREN’T BORN WITH MANY SURVIVAL INSTINCTS.
Yes, elephants are intelligent creatures. However, when they are born, they don’t have many survival instincts like other animals. Just like humans, they rely on their mothers to learn all their survival skills.

AN ELEPHANT CALF RELIES ON THEIR MOTHER FOR EVERYTHING.
Since the day an elephant calf is born, it relies heavily on its mother. The calves get their nutrients from their mother’s milk for the first few years. They get weaned off between five to 10 years. Typically, this is the time when they can survive on solid vegetation like grasses.

During the infant stage, they rely heavily on their mothers for nutrients, hygiene and to learn survival skills. They learn how to use their trunks for feeding, drinking and bathing. Plus, they learn everything about how to avoid dangers. Just like humans, the infant years are critical to learning necessary survival skills.

ZOO ELEPHANT DEATH RATES HAVE SURPASSED BIRTH RATES. (3 BIRTHS VS. 5 DEATHS ANNUALLY)
Sadly, research has shown that elephants aren’t self-sustaining in zoos. Meaning that birth rates are declining, and if these rates don’t improve, it could lead to “captive extinction” for elephants.

The reason behind these declines is the increase in infertility rates. In seven years, the infertility rates have gone from 22 percent to 45 percent. Some factors behind high infertility rates in zoos have to due with the captive elephants' lack of exercise and high- calorie diets that affect their ovarian cycles.

With research, we can help stop captive extinction and improve the birth rates of elephants in zoos and the wild. At For Elephants, we are using science to make informed conservation changes. Help contribute to our research by making a small donation or purchasing our For Elephants apparel.

Close Ecounter With Gorillas

Discovery Animals 2021-07-11 | Gorilla moms have a roughly 8.5-month long gestation period, and infants weight about 1.4 – 1.8 kg (4 lb) when they’re born. That’s half the weight of the average human infant! However, gorillas grow faster and reach maturity around 12 years old. By the time they’re adults, gorillas end up weighing more than the average human. For males, this is between 136 – 219 kgs, or 300 – 485 lbs and for females, around 90 – 113 kg, or 200-250 lbs.

Moms typically will always be in close physical contact with their infants for about half a year after they’re born. This helps keep the infant safe, lets mom keep track of the baby during active moments like foraging or traveling, and provides comfort for the infant. At around 3 months of age, gorilla infants will start to manipulate objects and explore their environment. Around 8 months, they’ll be walking and exploring within a few feet of mom. As they gets older and braver they will range further (frequently with support from siblings and other juveniles).
Infants and their moms remain in close proximity to each other and share a very close relationship for the infant’s first few years. Other related females will sometimes try to help out, especially young siblings of the infant. When the infant is young, the mother will try to shoo the curious gorillas away. However, as the baby gorilla gets older and starts venturing away from its mother, juveniles will participate in the young gorilla’s life. They do this through activities such as infant carrying and playing.
Fossey Fund researchers are typically able to determine paternity through observations and genetic analysis, but gorilla infants don’t know who their dad is. There are a couple reasons for this: mountain gorilla groups can have multiple silverbacks which may have bred with the mother, or an infant’s mom may have transferred from a different group. Researchers have also determined that infants don’t show a preference for spending time with their biological fathers versus other silverbacks, further supporting the idea that the infant doesn’t know who their real dad is.
Adult male mountain gorillas don’t know which infant is theirs, but they spend time caring for and socializing with older infants. One famous example is the silverback Cantsbee, who was known to “babysit” five or six infants while their mothers were foraging. Research has also shown that blackback (immature) mountain gorilla males who spend more time playing with infants and juveniles are more likely to sire offspring once they become silverbacks.

Giraffe Tries Saving her Calf From Hunting Hyenas

Discovery Animals 2021-07-10 | The giraffe and its closest relative the okapi are the last survivors of the once plentiful Giraffidae family. While the okapi is a solitary, forest dwelling creature rarely seen, the giraffe is a true show stopper, herds of which wander in surprising abundance across the African savanna.

Today the giraffe is the tallest animal on Earth, with males topping out at about 18 feet at the tip of the horns (called occicones), and 11 feet at the shoulder.

Although no fossil trail exists, it is assumed the giraffe developed its remarkable physique and out-survived its relatives, by reaching for the treetops.

As taller individuals ate leaves and fruits unavailable to shorter individuals, the giraffe thrived, and became more and more specialized. While the 6 to 8 foot long, 600 pound neck is most obvious, the giraffes entire body is a masterpiece of specialization.

Viewed from the side, the giraffes shoulder region is towering, with a highly elongated pectoral girdle which gives the illusion that the front legs are longer than the rear. Front and rear legs are about the same length, however, between 5.5 and 6 feet long.

While the relatively short back has vertebrae of a median size, the vertebrae of the neck, are stretched to about 11 inches long, They still have the standard 7 neck vertebrae found in most mammals, including us, but they are not only elongated, but also articulate far more than ours.

The neck is supported by powerful muscles and reinforced ligaments which anchor to vertebrae between the shoulder blades, and form a hump where the back and neck meet.

The head is refined, streamlined and equipped with an 18 inch long tongue for even further reach.

Both males and females have horns known as "occicones", which are formed from cartilage and covered with skin. Females have thinner occicones, that are tufted with longer hair on top. Males occicones are larger, have knobs on the ends, and become bald on top as they mature.

Giraffes live in very loose groups of 3 to 40 or so, mostly related individuals. They are not territorial, and their social structure is very peaceful and cooperative..

Though the giraffe is the worlds tallest animal, it is, by mammal standards, remarkably peaceful, with very little territorial drive. Even aggression between adult bulls is limited to largely harmless "necking" displays.

Males and females mingle, young are protected by herd members, and individuals take turns looking out for eachother while drinking or napping.

Giraffes have a "fission-fusion" society, that means groups come together and break apart freely, and friendships and alliances are loose and varied.

When Giant Rhinos Decide to Fight

Discovery Animals 2021-07-09 | Black rhinos are the smaller of the two African rhino species. The most notable difference between white and black rhinos are their hooked upper lip. This distinguishes them from the white rhino, which has a square lip. Black rhinos are browsers rather than grazers, and their pointed lip helps them feed on leaves from bushes and trees. They have two horns, and occasionally a third, small posterior horn.

Populations of black rhino declined dramatically in the 20th century at the hands of European hunters and settlers. Between 1960 and 1995, black rhino numbers dropped by a sobering 98%, to less than 2,500. Since then, the species has made a tremendous comeback from the brink of extinction. Thanks to persistent conservation efforts across Africa, black rhino numbers have doubled from their historic low 20 years ago to around 5,600 today. However, the black rhino is still considered critically endangered, and a lot of work remains to bring the numbers up to even a fraction of what it once was—and to ensure that it stays there. Wildlife crime—in this case, poaching and black-market trafficking of rhino horn—continues to plague the species and threaten its recovery.

When Giant Elephants Loves To Swim - Navann Swimming

Discovery Animals 2021-07-06 | Elephants can swim – they use their trunk to breathe like a snorkel in deep water. ... In a day, an elephant can drink 50 gallons (200 liters) of water. An elephant's trunk can hold 2.5 gallons of water. Elephants have been known to learn more than 60 commands.

As of 2002, it was estimated that 30,000 – 50,000 Asian elephants survive in the world; some experts believe that in 2017 the number is closer to 30,000.
More than 13,000 of the above number are maintained in human care in Asian elephant range countries.
There are only 10 regions in all of Asia where elephant numbers total at least 1,000 individual animals.
Although some African elephant populations are still increasing in excess of the carrying capacity of their habitat, elephants in many countries in East, Central and West Africa are subject to poaching and populations are being decimated.
Consistently throughout Asia and Africa, human elephant conflict is on the rise. As humans increase our food supply to meet the needs of our population, existing elephant habitat is turned into cropland and the elephants find themselves competing for resources with people.
Elephants have hair all over their bodies.
Elephants have eyelashes.
The African elephant is the largest living land mammal.
The elephant trunk serves as a nose, a hand, an extra foot, a signaling device and a tool for gathering food, siphoning water, dusting, digging and much more.
Elephants can live in nearly any habitat that has adequate quantities of food and water. Ideally, their habitat consists of an abundance of grass and browse depending depending on the species.
Only the male Asian elephants have tusks.
The tusks of elephants grow through their life. The tusks can weigh over 200 pounds.
Elephants don’t drink with their trunks, but use them as “tools” to drink with. This is accomplished by filling the trunk with water and then using it as a hose to pour it into the elephant’s mouth.
Elephants can swim – they use their trunk to breathe like a snorkel in deep water.
Elephants have a slow pulse of 27 and for a canary it is 1000!
The elephant is the only mammal that can’t jump.
The elephant’s gestation period is 22 months.
The elephant is the national animal of Thailand.
An elephant’s tooth can weight as much as three kilograms.
An elephant in the wild can eat anywhere from 100 – 1000 pounds of vegetation in a 16 hour period.
The intestines of an elephant may be 19 meters in length, or more than 60 feet long.
Elephants purr like cats do, as a means of communication.
In a day, an elephant can drink 50 gallons (200 liters) of water.
An elephant’s trunk can hold 2.5 gallons of water
Elephants have been known to learn more than 60 commands.

Lion Crazy Life Safari Time

Discovery Animals 2021-07-05 | When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.

Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.

Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.

If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.

Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.

The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.

Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.

Are white lion cubs albinos?
White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

Amazing Cheetah Video Footage Cubs - Big Cats Wildlife

Discovery Animals 2021-07-04 | The Cheetah is credited as being the fastest land animal over short distances, and can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h (55.9 m/h) in pursuit of prey. This Cat is characterised by a slender body, long legs, and a distinctly rounded head with small rounded ears which are set wide apart. It measures two metres from the snout to the tip of the tail, has a mass of 40 - 60 Kg's, and stands about 800mm high.

It has a concave back and lower hind quarters. This Cat is characterised by a strongly spotted coat and by a long tail which is half as long as the length of its head and body. The tail has a unique pattern of striped markings.

Diet
The Cheetah's main prey is medium to small antelope such as Steenbok and Duiker, Thomson's Gazelle and Springbok, but there have been accounts of males grouping together to hunt larger prey such as Wildebeest. They also prey on Baboons, ground-living Birds, Bustards, Hares and Porcupines.

Breeding
Cheetahs do not have a fixed seasonal breeding cycle and in this too, they are similar to leopards. Cheetah cubs are born after a gestation period of about three months.

Usually two cubs are born in the litter, but occasionally there are up to six. Cubs stay with their mother for about two years, but sadly, most of them never live to adulthood because they are preyed upon by Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Foxes and Eagles, to name but a few.

Being a comparatively frail Cat, the mother often has to give up her young or risk being killed herself. However in areas where there is good cover or few predators, the possibility of a Cheetah's survival is quite good.

Behaviour
They live in family groups of two to six strong, although some individuals prefer a solitary existence at times. Its historical distribution has been greatly reduced and modified. Cheetahs have disappeared from very large areas of the African continent due to modern man's colonisation.

Cheetahs are predominantly diurnal, with peaks of activity at sunrise and sunset. Choosing an elevated resting place, they lie up in the shade during the hottest hours of the day.

Those who have never heard a Cheetah's call will be very surprised to hear it make an almost bird-like chirp. While they also growl, snarl and hiss like domestic Cats, they do not roar as some people might expect them to.
Where they are found

This rare and totally protected species is found only in the Kalahari and remote area's of the Northern Province and Mpumalanga, as well as sporadically in the Northern Cape Province. Cheetahs were exterminated in the 1930s in the Kwazulu Natal Province of South Africa.

Namibian stock was been reintroduced to Hluhluwe, Umfolozi and Mkuze game reserves in 1965, and eastern shores of Lake St. Lucia in 1978.

Interesting facts
The King Cheetah is not a species on its own, but rather a natural phenomenon amongst the Cheetah family, where at times young are naturally born with this colouring. The King Cheetah is mainly observed in the Kruger National Park and the northern Gauteng.

Habitat
Prefers to frequent open plains as is often depicted in films, but they are also at home in savannah woodland areas.

Amazing Elephant Calfs Taking Bath - Cool Baby Elephants

Discovery Animals 2021-07-03 | AN ELEPHANT’S PREGNANCY IS AN AVERAGE OF 22 MONTHS.

Meet Cute & Cool Gorillas in Real Life

Discovery Animals 2021-06-28 | Gorilla moms have a roughly 8.5-month long gestation period, and infants weight about 1.4 – 1.8 kg (4 lb) when they’re born. That’s half the weight of the average human infant! However, gorillas grow faster and reach maturity around 12 years old. By the time they’re adults, gorillas end up weighing more than the average human. For males, this is between 136 – 219 kgs, or 300 – 485 lbs and for females, around 90 – 113 kg, or 200-250 lbs.

Happy Wild Bonobos Morning

Discovery Animals 2021-06-22 | Bonobos and chimpanzees look very similar and both share 98.7% of their DNA with humans—making the two species our closest living relatives. Bonobos are usually a bit smaller, leaner and darker than chimpanzees. Their society is also different—bonobo groups tend to be more peaceful and are led by females. They also maintain relationships and settle conflicts through sex. However, bonobo life isn’t entirely violence free; if two groups of bonobos come together, they may engage in serious fighting.

Wild bonobos can only be found in forests south of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Sometimes known as the pygmy chimpanzee, bonobos weren’t recognized as a separate species until 1929. As the last great ape to be scientifically described, much remains unknown about the bonobo—including the extent of its geographic range. Efforts to survey the species over the past two decades have been hampered by the remote nature of its habitat, the patchiness of their distribution and years of civil unrest within the DRC.

Civil unrest and increasing poverty in the area around the bonobos’ forests have contributed to bonobo poaching and deforestation. Though the size of the bonobo population is largely unknown, it has likely been declining for the last 30 years. Scientists believe that the decline will continue for the next 45 to 55 years due to the bonobo’s low reproductive rate and growing threats.

Lovely Chimpanzee Chimps Do What Monkeys Do

Discovery Animals 2021-06-19 | There are four subpopulations of the chimpanzee — the western chimp, the Nigeria-Cameroon chimp, the central chimp, and the eastern chimp. This great ape is one of our closest relatives, sharing about 98 percent of their genes with us. They have thickset bodies with short legs, opposable thumbs, no tails, and long arms that are 1.5 times their height that extends beyond their knees. Much of their body is covered with long black hair, but the face, ears, fingers, and toes are bare.

Chimps are losing their homes.
The number of chimps in the wild is steadily decreasing. One of the main causes is the alarming rate at which forests are cut down for farming, settlements, and other activities.

The chimpanzee is hunted for bushmeat.
While bushmeat has always been a popular source of dietary protein for local communities, the scale of hunting has increased dramatically, and the activity has become heavily commercialized with much more of the meat now going to urban residents.

Behaviors
The chimpanzee is the mammal most like a human.
They are intelligent, curious, noisy, and social. Chimps live in loose communities which can number anywhere from ten to more than 100 individuals. They can share a home range that they protect from intruders and will sometimes forage for foods in groups. They exhibit complex patterns of behavior, many of which are learned, and can solve problems, plan for anticipated events, as well as make and use tools. They have even been seen utilizing medicinal plants for a variety of ailments.

They enjoy spending time together.
Chimps touch each other a great deal and may kiss when they meet. They also hold hands and groom each other. An adult often has a special companion with which it spends a lot of time. The strongest relationships within a community appear to be between adult males. They tend to spend a great deal of time together and will groom one another four times as much than females. Female chimps give their young a great deal of attention and help each other with babysitting chores. The older individuals in the group are usually quite patient with energetic youngsters — not unlike grandparents. An important social activity in their societies is social grooming. Not only does grooming help remove ticks, dirt, and flakes of dead skin from the hair, but it also helps establish and maintain social bonds.

Diet
Chimps are not picky eaters.
After descending from their night nests in the trees, they hungrily feed on fruits, their principal diet, and on leaves, buds, and blossoms. After a while, their feeding becomes more selective, and they will choose the ripest fruit. They usually pick fruit with their hands, but they eat berries and seeds directly off the stem with their lips. Their diet consists of up to 80 different plant foods, and they will spend anywhere from six to eight hours per day foraging for food. Sometimes, they will supplement their diets with meat, such as young antelopes or goats. Their most frequent victims, however, are other primates, such as young baboons, colobus monkeys, and blue monkeys.

Cute Funny chimpanzee

Discovery Animals 2021-06-18 | There are four subpopulations of the chimpanzee — the western chimp, the Nigeria-Cameroon chimp, the central chimp, and the eastern chimp. This great ape is one of our closest relatives, sharing about 98 percent of their genes with us. They have thickset bodies with short legs, opposable thumbs, no tails, and long arms that are 1.5 times their height that extends beyond their knees. Much of their body is covered with long black hair, but the face, ears, fingers, and toes are bare.

Chimps are losing their homes.
The number of chimps in the wild is steadily decreasing. One of the main causes is the alarming rate at which forests are cut down for farming, settlements, and other activities.

The chimpanzee is hunted for bushmeat.
While bushmeat has always been a popular source of dietary protein for local communities, the scale of hunting has increased dramatically, and the activity has become heavily commercialized with much more of the meat now going to urban residents.

Behaviors
The chimpanzee is the mammal most like a human.
They are intelligent, curious, noisy, and social. Chimps live in loose communities which can number anywhere from ten to more than 100 individuals. They can share a home range that they protect from intruders and will sometimes forage for foods in groups. They exhibit complex patterns of behavior, many of which are learned, and can solve problems, plan for anticipated events, as well as make and use tools. They have even been seen utilizing medicinal plants for a variety of ailments.

They enjoy spending time together.
Chimps touch each other a great deal and may kiss when they meet. They also hold hands and groom each other. An adult often has a special companion with which it spends a lot of time. The strongest relationships within a community appear to be between adult males. They tend to spend a great deal of time together and will groom one another four times as much than females.

Cute Hyena Cubs Playing

Discovery Animals 2021-06-17 | Hyena pregnancy lasts about 110 days, and newborns are well-developed.
Spotted hyena babies are born with black, scruffy fur, tiny teeth already broken through their gums, and their eyes open.
They weigh only about one pound when newborn, and for the first few days of life, the mother hyena may keep them from the rest of the clan.
At about 3 weeks old the black coat starts to lighten, and spots appear. The babies become much more active and mingle with the clan.

baby hyena cub
The mother hyena will leave them with male "baby sitters" as she goes out to hunt with the female hyenas.

The society of the spotted hyena is matriarchal, meaning that females are larger, stronger and more aggressive than males.
Female spotted hyenas have unusually high testosterone levels that don't just change behavior but also transform the female sex organs.
The female hyena looks almost identical to the male, and even experts can't sex them without a physical examination.

This has caused many to believe that hyenas are clans of devilish hermaphrodites whose cackles mock the norm.

But actual intercourse is no laughing matter, it is a delicate and stressful process where a submissive male must somehow arch his way under the female to complete the act.

There are usually two cubs delivered, but fighting between the cubs often occurs, particularly if they are the same sex, and the weaker sibling will often perish in the first weeks.

Young males will leave the clan at about 2 years, females will remain for life.

Sweet Lion Cubs From Africa

Discovery Animals 2021-06-14 | When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.

Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.

Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.

If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.

Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.

The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.

Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.

Are white lion cubs albinos?
White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

How Leopard Drinking water

Discovery Animals 2021-06-09 | Leopards are astoundingly strong. They are pound for pound the strongest of the big cats. They are able to climb trees, even when carrying heavy prey, and often choose to rest on tree branches during the day. One reason why leopards sometimes take their prey up in the trees is to ensure lions or hyenas can’t steal them.
Leopards are renowned for their agility. They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically. They are also very strong swimmers.

The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild.
Leopards are predominantly solitary animals that have large territories. While male territories are larger than females and tend to overlap, individuals usually only tolerate intrusion into ranges for mating. They mark their ranges with urine and leave claw marks on trees to warn others to stay away.
Like cats kept as companions, leopards will growl when angry and purr when content. They have various vocalisations such as a rasping cough which they perform to announce their presence to other leopards.
Leopards tend to have two or three cubs per gestation. Mothers refrain from wandering their territories after giving birth until their young are capable to come with them. Cubs suckle for around 3 months and are kept hidden for about the first 8 weeks to protect them from predators.

Leopards tend to have distinctive dark spots called rosettes, which create beautiful patterns against their otherwise light fur. Black leopards however have dark fur which makes it difficult to see the spots. They appear almost solid black and are often called black panthers.
During the National Geographic programme ‘Eye of the Leopard’, a wild leopard killed a baboon in order to feed herself. However upon noticing an infant baboon clinging to the dead baboon, the leopard amazingly carried the infant up to the safety of the tree to guard her from hyenas. She groomed and cuddled the baby throughout the night, caring for him/her as she would her own cub.
Leopards have the widest range of habitats of all the big cats. This adaptability has allowed them to survive in various different geographic areas. Perhaps the most extreme example is the amazing snow leopard which lives in the Himalayas.
Throughout history, leopards have been depicted in artwork, mythology and folklore in numerous countries. They are also now commonly used as an emblem in sports in much of Africa.

White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

Wonderful Lions Doucumentary African Safari

Discovery Animals 2021-05-18 | When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.

Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.

African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.

Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.

If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.

Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.

The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.

Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.
