Ahmed the Elephant
- #Leopards are known for their ability in climbing, and have been observed resting on tree branches during the day, dragging their kills up trees and hanging them there, and descending from trees headfirst.They are powerful swimmers, although are not as disposed to swimming as some other big cats, such as the tiger. They are very agile, and can run at over 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph), leap over 6 metres (20 ft) horizontally, and jump up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) vertically. They have patterns similar to a #Cheetah #animals #wildlife #nature #adventure #africa #cats #leopard#Gemsbok are widely hunted for their spectacular #horns that average 85 cm (33 in) in length. From a distance, the only outward difference between males and females is their horns, and many hunters mistake females for males each year. In males horns tend to be thicker with larger bases. Females have slightly longer, thinner horns. Female gemsbok use their horns to defend themselves and their offspring from predators, while males primarily use their horns to defend their territories from other males.[7] Gemsbok are one of the few #antelope species where female trophies are sometimes more desirable than male ones. A gemsbok horn can be fashioned into a natural trumpet and, according to some authorities, can be used as a shofar. #animals #Africa #wildlife #antelopeThe greater #kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) is a woodland #antelope found throughout eastern and southern #Africa. This is one of the largest species of antelope. Males weigh 190–270 kg (420–600 lb.), with a maximum of 315 kg (694 lb), and stand up to 160 cm (63 in) tall at the shoulder. #GreaterKudu are a target for #poaching #animals #Africa #wildlife #travel #deer #booksA #dik-dik next to a human hand for size comparison.
