In the past, Eastern black rhinoceros lived across southern Africa, from Ethiopia to Sudan, Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Today, they are restricted to Kenya and northern Tanzania. The population has declined by 90% in the last three generations and their population is stable only in Kenya. Black rhinos live in primarily grasslands, savannas, and tropical bushland habitats.

Cheetahs are the fastest land mammal in the world and they have a body that is built for speed! Slender, with long powerful legs, a deep chest and a flexible spine, it can reach speeds of up to 70mph over short distances. Its long tail and semi-retractile claws help to maintain balance and improve grip as they run. Their distinctive yellow coat with black spots serves as camouflage in open habitat. The black stripes that run from the inside corner of each eye and down the side of the nose are known as 'tear lines', and help to reduce the glare from the sun as they hunt.
