Sleek,dangerous, fast, and vicious. Revered for their beauty and vitality. No-one runs the Race of Life faster than the Cheetah, and yet it is on the endangered species list. The Leopard is perhaps the best equipped survivor for the long run, with its population spread far beyond Sub-Saharan Africa. This success is probably to do with the fact they are 'opportunistic hunters'. And what of the Lion? Known as the King of the Jungle, (even though they don't live there), lions hunt buffalos, giraffes, warthogs, wildebeests and zebras, and antelopes when the opportunity presents itself. Lions are high up on the food chain, the very centre of their food web, so have almost no predators. Another loner in the race of life, the snow leopard prefers to inhabit steep cliff areas, rocky outcrops and ravines.
