    The more you know about the unique behavior and traits of our wildlife, the more you will appreciate the absolute beauty of their interaction in the African bushveld.

    Spotted hyena often sit in water to cool off. They are unable to perspire and so pant nasally, the evaporation from the moist mouth and nasal cavities cooling the inhaled air and the blood going to the brain.

    At certain times of the year during winter, sparse vegetation or drought, a leopard tortoise will eat calcified dung to help with shell development or egg laying; giraffe will suck on large bones, using their tongue to manipulate the bone in and out of their mouth to obtain trace elements such as calcium and phosphorous.

    Wild dogs are not a feral species. They are naturally occurring, evolved in Africa and have maintained their current form for a few hundred thousand years. Wild dogs grab small prey and give the "death shake", violently shaking the small animal with rapid side to side movements of their head which usually breaks the preys neck or back. Wild Dogs usually run larger prey to exhaustion and pack members grab at the softer rear areas of the anus, belly and groin with perhaps one dog holding onto the snout or lips forcing the preys head down. In this manner the prey is quickly disemboweled and dies from blood loss and shock. Wild dogs regurgitate food to feed members of the pack that cannot hunt (pups and adults).This specialized mechanism ensures the survival of all members. Survival for wild dogs depends on pack strength.

    Honey badgers are short tempered, aggressive and very dangerous when harassed or annoyed. They have thick loose skin which allows them to turn on attackers when being held. Combined with powerful jaws equipped with broad crushing teeth they are a formidable opponent, even lions and leopard tending to avoid them.

    Lions are the only true social cats with a matriarchal social structure. Groups are formed and based on close bonds among females, not necessarily closely related. Males fight for the right to rule a territory and have access to its females but may form coalitions with brothers, half-brothers or strangers. This improves their chances of maintaining a home range and does not necessarily impede mating opportunities. Lion will defend their territory against members of the same sex. Cats kill by suffocation, or severing arteries and the spinal cord.

    Black-backed and side-striped jackals form a monogamous bond for life and only find another mate if one partner dies. The male also assists with parenting and supplying food.

    Animals like cheetah and leopard use disruptive discolouration camouflage. These mammals use spots, stripes or other patterns on the coat to disrupt their body outline so that it blends into the background; effectively disguising its overall shape.

    Most male mammals have scrotum in a thin layer of tissue away from the body to ensure sperm remains at the most viable temperature for production and viability. In cold weather the muscle surrounding the scrotum contract, pulling closer to the body for heat.

    Certain mammals have a 3rd eyelid called a haw or nictating membrane, usually situated inside the eye. It moves sideways across the eye and is normally completely or partially translucent. Its purpose is added protection for the delicate eye, and/or to remove dust and debris. Snakes and bird species that are plunge divers have this membrane which sweeps across to protect the eye before impact with water.

    Leopard, cheetah and wild dogs have dark bodies with a highly visible and contrasting white patch at the end of the tail. This is used as an easily visible "follow beacon" for young and other members of the pride/pack through long grass or thick bush. Lions have a black tip on their tail, contrasting with a light tan body. Observe the comical warthog who, when alarmed, runs off with tail extended straight up towards the sky so as to be easily followed into the bush.

    The aardwolf is a termite-eater with ridges on its palate that help catch termites during the five licks per second. They have papillae on the tongue to prevent abrasion from sand as it licks its prey from the soil surface. Their stomachs grind the food that their cheek teeth can't, and vast amounts of saliva neutralise any toxic secretions from prey. When threatened, an aardwolf consciously erects the mane of long hairs along the neck, back and tail, making themselves look a lot bigger in the hopes of deterring an attack.

    Spotted hyena cubs have a black coat for the first three months of life. When twin females are born, one usually kills the other. This is because hyenas are a matriarchal society. Spotted hyaena females are bigger than males, and because they dominate food sources, stay that way. Hyena generally dominate all other predators except for lion. In numbers they can intimidate and drive lions off a kill particularly because of superior teamwork. Female genitalia have changed in appearance to mimic those of males, possibly linked to when the species evolved into a matriarchal society. The clitoris has become enlarged to look like a penis which still encloses the vagina and urethra, which has become a common tract. The labia mimic a scrotum and the "testes" are fatty deposits which shrink with age.

    Suricates, more commonly known as the mongoose or meerkats, are easily identifiable by the "sentry position" in which they stand up straight, tails down, front paws together to scan for birds of prey or threats on the ground.

    Horn development in antelope is mainly based on male reproductive competition, defense playing a secondary role. Certain females such as impala and nyala do not have horns. Horns that are broken do not regrow with the exception of kudu and nyala whose horns grow throughout their lifetime. Other species horns reach full size at maturity.

    The hind legs of a red lechwe (antelope) are longer and more powerful than the front legs, helping them to make huge leaps through the watery or marshy terrain they prefer to inhabit. They have widely splayed hooves so as not to sink into the soft substrate.

    Kudu and eland can clear a 3 metre obstacle from a standing position, and the faster they are moving the lower they jump but the further they reach. This is used when trying to escape predators.

    Impala have big black tufts of hair near their hind feet that enclose a glandular patch of skin called the metatarsal gland which contains a slightly sweet smelling substance, may be used in communicating a scent signal to other members of the herd for social and defensive reasons.

    Dark coloured antelope usually have light coloured babies. This is a survival strategy allowing the babies to take on the colour of the long grass in which they are hidden until old enough to follow their mother.

    Young buffalo are not light coloured as they are not hidden. Giraffe have seven neck vertebrae, as is common with most mammals; however, one vertebra can be over 25cm long. The forelegs of a giraffe are longer than its neck, therefore the giraffe must bend or splay it legs to drink or feed on the ground. A giraffe's heart, weighing up to 12kg needs to be large and powerful to pump blood through the large body and against the force of gravity up that long neck to the head. Its lungs can hold 55 litres of air. A newborn giraffe is about two metres tall with a weight of 100kg. The baby falls about 2 metres to the ground at birth, the female bending her legs slightly to lessen the height. The slight impact when hitting the ground helps start the lungs breathing.

    Hippos are not good swimmers. They are bottom dwellers, keeping slow-moving water ways open by acting as dredgers against siltation and vegetation growth. They wear pathways along the bottom, can push their way to the surface in deep water and slowly return to the bottom. This is not swimming as they annot control their buoyancy. Hippos can only stay under water for about 5 minutes and will drown in water too deep to reach the surface for air and therefore require a habitat of slow moving water that is deep enough from them to submerge, but not too deep to make surfacing for air impossible. Hippos can sleep under water, subconsciously raising their head to the surface for air. Baby hippos can suckle under water.

    Warthog drop to their knees when rooting. Rooting is when the animal uses the hard cartilaginous disc on the end of its nose as well as its tusks to dig for food. They live in groups called sounders and most often utilize burrows dug by others in termite mounds. Warthogs enter their burrows backwards, protecting their heads from what might be inside the burrow, and being in position to defend the burrow entrance quickly.

    A white rhino male can reach up to 2 300kg whereas a large black rhino weighs around 1 100kg. A white rhino has pointed ears, a flattish back with a bump near the middle, and elongated head, a square upper lip for grazing. The young usually runs ahead of the mother and the tail curls back when alarmed. The black rhino has rounded ears, a concave back, a rounded head, a pointed prehensile upper lip for browsing. The young usually runs behind the mother and the tail is held straight out when alarmed.

    All zebras have individual striped patterns, as well as their left and right side patterns differing. There is a greater concentration of capillaries under the black stripes than white stripes which is thought to help with dissipating heat which the black draws more of.

    Elephants can swim well, not needing to stay in contact with the bottom. The trunk will be used as a snorkel when crossing deep water. Dust or mud bathing after a swim helps protect the skin from sunburn. Suckling calves do not use the trunk to suckle but use the mouth directly.

    Pangolins have no relation to armadillos even though they have a superficial resemble and dietary similarities. They are largely free from predation, even from prides of lion and spotted hyaena. This is because the pangolin when harassed wraps itself into a ball and is protected by scales made of keratin.

    These scales are hard with small ridges and have a sharp leading edge. When curled up they lie still, but if harassed further they scythe their tail from side to side which can inflict a nasty cut or even an amputation.

    Caracal are one of the most ferocious of all the local cats. Skilled, secretive hunters adept at climbing trees, these smaller cats will not hesitate to defend themselves. Caracal are the only local cats that have ear tufts.

    On cooler days bat-eared foxes will sun themselves close to a bolt hole by lying on the ground, with ears flat to remain inconspicuous. Dens have more than one hole to help them escape from predators.

    The central horn protuberance on a mature African buffalo is called a "boss". Old buffalo bulls often remain in bachelor groups or become solitary. One of their favourite pastimes is wallowing in the mud which has given them the nickname "daggaboys" meaning mud boys. This is likely done because there is a good supply of soft green grass in marshy areas for their worn down teeth, and because as they lose hair on their backs and rumps they need protection from the sun.

    Tips for success and survival by Nigel Marven Big Adventure Cat - The miraculous power of trust

    !9# Tips for success and survival by Nigel Marven Big Adventure Cat - The miraculous power of trust

    [endif]

    Nigel Marven traveled in 2001, a scientist brave, far and wide in its "Big Cat Adventure 'looking big cats. They are great roaring cats, because they are classified. But you can also scared the life out of you!

    The big cats are leopards, snow leopards, jaguars, lions and tigers. Five of the 38 subspecies of cat. Nigel tracked leopards and tigers, and even made a bunch of hungry lions unarmed demonstrate the performance of atrusting people.

    Nigel said his mission clear:

    "In my wildest adventure as they tackle the world's largest cat to see how I measure."

    The program began with Nigel playing with Siberian tigers about 3 months. He loves to play and have fun with the animals he studied. He likes to be with them. A key success factor is the ability to try to have fun in everything you do.

    Nigel has never been with a distant view of the animals she loves to contentStudio:

    "I want to see close to lions, how great they are. There are five big cats around the world. Not a cheetah is one of them as they can purr when they breathe, and when you exhale. The big cats can only do purr when exhaling, but they can roar. "

    His first visit to the country leopards Africa. Leopards are brilliant and even go on climbing trees in search of prey. You can also drag heavy prey in the trees to keep the meat away from other predators such asHyenas.

    Boys are so heavy like Nigel - about 200 pounds - and measured three meters from head to tail. Nigel just saw a "breathtaking", after a male Leopard and Leopard, which was much bigger and more powerful.

    The leopard was a loving woman who has followed the hunt. However, man has tried to fit the act of biting the fold of flesh and fur on the neck to see.

    She knows that she so uncomfortable, but the next day or so he would be foundlikely to mate with her over a hundred times to be sure of having children.

    The elusive snow leopard, which lives in the mountains of Central Asia has been seen in a zoo in France by Nigel. A man of high standards, Nigel considered this as cheating. Some scientists do not take the snow leopard, like a big cat, because there has never been known to roar.

    The Jaguar looks like a leopard with larger circles on his fur, but it is the third largest cat and can be found in south-centralAmerica. Jaguar love water and is used for everything, including Cayman and even large fish anancondas.

    The cat is the second largest lion. Lions grow up to four times as big as cats spotted. Nigel went to a reserve near Kruger National Park, to see if he was afraid of a pack of lions. Jerry, a gamekeeper, to blast a large lion had to change radio collar.

    They went out into the night. Jerry was a band called buffalo to pull a dead zebra and the lioness was out to putkeep the pride filled.

    Jerry soon appeared and quickly shot the lioness, who has tried. A lion shot to the rest of the pride that must be afraid of being attacked.

    Guess who had volunteered for the job, although he had doubts when a male lion who terrorized him to the lions, the railroad workers in East Africa reminded noticed.

    About 140 workers were exactly in just nine months as the two men were killed in that pride. But Nigelbelieves that:

    "If you approach wild lions pretty sure, should not attack a person standing. This is the time to test the theory. My heart is in my mouth. This is a pride of lions adults."

    Nigel came up with nothing but a torch in his hand. His "heart and every internal organ" was in his mouth. Pride ran toward a man who kept a distance.

    The blow lioness weighed almost 400 kilos - more than two of Nigel. He got closeand compared its size with her.

    He stopped next to a group of young male lions that were on him with suspicion. It was so close to them who was whacked by the tail of a lion but he was not content to live with a heart that beats.

    He wanted to get close to a lion and adult deliberate. He did so with the help of a local, Kevin Richardson, the relations of friendship with an adult man named Napoleon seemed. Nigel hit his right arm reachedLion's Head. The lion growled and Nigel says with his usual understatement:

    "I am a little 'afraid of this!"

    He has been successful for a time, while the lion gave him a pat on the back.

    Kevin told him to watch out for the lion's paws. "Their feet are so fast"

    "Their claws are like meat hooks," said Nigel

    At one point, the lion put his leg while dew claws and Nigel 'him. Napoleon did not seem too happy to Nigel, but Kevin saved him and showed him how bigThe lion was taking a post with a little meat for the lions. You can save 7 feet long with a 3 foot tail, and weigh a quarter ton.

    But the second largest cat of all is the Bengal tiger, which is located in India. Nigel was looking forward to one thing:

    "For me it's like to be the encounter with royalty. The Tigers have the most imposing and charismatic of all the predators."

    Nigel traveled was the center of India, the area of ​​Rudyard KiplingThe inspiration for The Jungle Book. The animated Disney musical Nigel impressed as a boy:

    "The comic inspired by the unforgettable songs myself. I wanted to be Mowgli. All the characters are animals here. ... Friends singing vultures Mowgli is still king of the monkeys ... remember Langar Swinger Kaa the python and hypnotic eyes. Baloo .. was a sloth ... and this is where Colonel Hathi the elephant ... spotted deer are a favorite prey of the predator jungle - this isafter what I -. Shere Khan the Bengal Tiger "

    Nigel, unusually, opted for the safe management of Shere Khan. He was ten feet off the ground on an elephant. However, tigers are known to attack both humans and elephants.

    At one point he was so enthusiastic, a snake, he jumped to see the elephant, even if Tiger had been seen recently in the field, to examine more closely. Excitement, strong emotions can undo as many fear.

    Soon after, he andVishnu, the mahout, or elephant driver, spotted a Bengal tiger cub, which was over 10 months:

    "The way they move, will simply scroll to the brother or sister is Tigers are also superlative fighter boys of that age spend most of the fall and stalking ....

    "Your mother will not be a lot. 'With them for two years or so remain. They capture their prey in about a year. There are only about 6,000 tigers left in the world and half ofthese are in India. "

    Then he discovered the boy's mother tiger. He had killed a deer.

    "She looks great, but Shere Khan is one and a half times their size."

    She fed her two children and then took off with it the tall grass

    Then feed the elephants with some dates and he and some other elephant took a bath. Nigel wet with them, as you would expect, and even immersed in water from the back of one of them. In general, it was fun.

    The lastDay of his visit to India, Nigel has made an offer to the premises for a male Bengal tigers to be seen. His prayers were answered.

    They left early and soon heard the noise in the distance. Tigers roar more male than the female. The jungle was full of alarm calls warn other animals like the approach of Shere Khan.

    Then they discovered a man of Bengal, but could not see up close. However, the elephant followed him and finally had to look good:

    "Finally, someMeters by a large male Bengal tiger. Probably weighs 500 pounds. That's two and a half from me. He is 10 years old. You can get more than 15 years in the wild.

    "What a mighty animal. This is Shere Khan. This is what we have tried is to see. A male Bengal tiger seems huge, but it is another rare and very difficult to sub-species that grows even bigger and this is what I want to see after, and you will not believe the difference in their environment. "

    Nigel thenmoved to Russia to see the biggest cat of all - the Siberian tiger. Unlike the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger attacks people rarely, but you know sometimes kill and eat, and even blacks bears, brown bears.

    Nigel the first time in Moscow and then flew east to Vladivostok. It was so cold that when he threw boiling water into the air, is frozen in the air

    He headed north, a reserve on the Sea of ​​Japan. The reserve covers 1,500 miles square. There were thirty SiberianTiger somewhere. Nigel would have to focus on professionals with high-tech radio-tracking gear.

    They got a signal from the tiger, but not close enough to see to get it. However, it is the smell of urine, a tiger on a tree:

    "How's pee smells very nice!" Nigel commented that he sees the positive in every situation.

    While they were monitoring a male tiger had killed a dog in a small town. It has now been classified as a tiger and a conflict would be shot, unless it could be,be driven into the heart of the reserve.

    He soon discovered by a helicopter:

    "There he is! He is just in front of us. If we go lower, the helicopter would be too frightening. He is so great, even from up here like a giant. This is the Siberian tigers in their natural habitat. This is a magnificent animal ".

    Nigel wanted to see a tiger from the ground. He received permission to continue to search for Tiger and set on a given smaller. His research has been successful andHe came for a boy and a girl eats a deer in the snow:

    "I can feel like you lick the carcass. They attack their prey by the throat and the gas. It is thirty degrees below zero, but I do not feel cold when you see things this way. This is a wonderful view , and is a rare spectacle.

    "There are about three or four Siberian tigers, but they are still in his shirt. I can not believe how anyone can be so magnificent creatures, such as shots of them.

    "You ate the wholeMany of the deer now, and I fear that will begin to draw attention to myself. So I leave to finish their meal. But this is something I have never to forget.

    "Mission accomplished. I saw all five big cats, traveled thousands of miles and consumed some of my nine lives, to look directly into the eyes of the predators of the world's most glorious."

    There are several survival and success of the lessons we can learn from Nigel and animalsStudies.

    You can get more if you are having fun. Nigel is always time to play with the animals he studied.

    Nigel wants more. He chased a female leopard for some distance, but was not satisfied. He wanted to see a leopard boy. Success brings more success than they want. Many of us are too easily satisfied with pennies when we could kilos.

    The leopard, although a great example to sow the seeds thoroughly, and then work with nature. Too many of ussow a few seeds or take a few steps towards our goals and then get their own way through the search results before they are ready to go.

    Nigel has demonstrated the power of confidence, a pride of lions that intimidating in the middle of their meal. The trust can work wonders. Who would have thought that a man was looking rather worried about a group of lions on the run? We all have our own power, much more than we think.

    Use strong excitation orTo increase the fear emotion. If you are attacked, you let your anger, your thoughts clear to the fear and help you resist.

    We must motivate our childhood passions are just as "The Jungle Book" Nigel motivated to seek Shere Khan.

    The prayer was in search of Shere Khan. Prayer is often underestimated and often do not work, perhaps because people are praying for half-heartedly and with only a faint hope of an answer. We must pray with an attitude of excitedAnticipation. We must await the results.

    Success leads to success and every success increases your strength. Nigel went from big cats in 2001 compared to the comparison of large alligators in 2002. He actually stuck his head into the mouth of a crocodile in 2002.

    Success usually involves doing what they should do, what happens to the plan. Nigel seems that every time. His determination to pursue its plans also attracts the support of others. He never stops halfway andTravel miles to reach its objectives. With him always is: "Mission Accomplished".

    Many people are not ready, put in the hard work necessary to learn more. Nigel, on the other side is willing, in the sweat equity required for all studied animals that can learn together. His enthusiasm for nature gives him the energy to study and become a top student of animal behavior.

    In Britain, thousands of drivers would pay other people to take their driving test for them.Then go with the car, without learning. There are nine times more likely to kill themselves and others than those who learn the time and effort it took while driving. Learning is a kind of sweat is worth nothing.

    A cat just walked by my window. Fortunately, it is not great for cats!
