Newborn monkeys are extremely intelligent and social creatures. However, the baby monkeys generally cling to their mothers very closely for the first few months of their life in order to learn vital “life skills”. While, it does vary across species, they should not be separated from their mothers at all for the first 3 to 6 months of their life. They tend to stay with their mothers through the birth and rearing of a sibling, generally until sexual maturity (around 3 years old).

Tanzanian Cheetah

A s the fastest land animal, Cheetas are capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 mph for a short period of time. They also have an incredibly high acceleration, with the ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in only 3 seconds, which is faster than most sport cars. Cheetah actually gets its name from the Hindi word “chita”, which means “spotted one” as they have about 2000 spots. They use their spotted coat for disguise and surprise their prey with a quick attack. That is why the majority of tyeir hunts last less than a few second.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is recognized as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Natural World.” . This annual migration consists of giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania & Kenya: over two million wildebeest, zebras & gazelles move through Masai Mara & Serengeti ecosystems in search of green pasture.

Vulture White-backed

V ultures are relatively silent as they lack a syrinx so they can only hiss, growl, and snarl. They are best known for is for being scavengers. In fact, they are not just any scavengers – they are obligate scavengers (Outside of the oceans, vultures are the only known obligate scavengers) ; meaning that they rely almost entirely on dead animals for their food. Despite their unpeacock-like appearance, vultures are intelligent birds whose senses of sight & smell are among the sharpest of any creatures.

Each zebra has its own unique pattern of distinctive stripes, just as humans have their own unique pattern of fingerprints. Their stripes helps them when it comes to confusing big cats during a unt as well as providing protection from flies by creating an optical illusion and misjudging the distance to the zebra. They stick together in herds. Within a herd, zebras tend to stay together in smaller family groups. Families are generally made up of a male, several females, and their young.
