They eat poutine and wear little toques...lol sorry I had to add that  because I am Canadian.\n\nHabitat and habits \n\nThe lynx generally inhabits forested wilderness areas. It favours old growth boreal forests with a dense undercover of thickets and windfalls. However, this carnivore, or meat eater, will populate other types of habitat as long as they contain minimal forest cover and adequate numbers of prey, in particular snowshoe hares. Because hare populations increase in forests that are growing back after disruption by wildfires or logging operations, these regenerating forest ecosystems are often able to support denser populations of lynxes as well. \n\nAs long as they are not disturbed, lynxes are remarkably tolerant of human settlement. For example, since the early 1960s, they have occupied the partly cleared mixed-farming district near Rochester, in central Alberta. A few were shot in farmyards, but there was no intensive fur trapping, and lynxes remain in the area. \n\nThe size of the home range varies with numbers of lynxes and snowshoe hares in the area, available cover, and season. When there are fewer hares, each lynx needs a larger area on which to hunt. In summer, home ranges are larger than in winter. In Alberta, lynx tracked in winter had home ranges varying from 15 to 47 km2. On Cape Breton Island, a study that involved radio transmitters attached to adult lynxes measured home ranges of 12 to 19 km2 in winter and 27 to 32 km2 in summer. In Canada, scientists have measured daily travelling distances for lynxes ranging from less than a kilometre to 19 km. \n\nThe territoriality of these mammals is still poorly understood. Home ranges may overlap, especially where the lynx neighbours are of different ages and sexes. In general, the home ranges of adults do not seem to overlap with other adults of the same sex. The animals urinate frequently to mark their home range. \n\nPeriodically, there have been conspicuous mass movements of lynxes out of the boreal forest and onto the prairie grasslands. These were well known to early fur traders and trappers, but they ceased in 1925–26. During 1962–63, however, there was once again a notable movement out of the north. Lynxes entered large cities such as Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg; appeared on the open grasslands of southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and North Dakota; and reached Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin. These same events were repeated during 1972–73. Like so many other aspects of the natural history of the lynx, these movements can be understood by relating them to the cyclical declines in populations of the snowshoe hare, the lynx’s main prey. Lynx populations that increase during periods of hare increase must either starve or emigrate when the hares disappear. The absence of any obvious movement between 1925–26 and 1962–63 probably reflected unusually low numbers of lynxes. \n\nLike the cougar and the bobcat, the other two members of the cat family native to Canada, the Canada lynx tends to be secretive and most active at night and, like them, it is rarely seen in the wild. Even for trappers who have spent a lifetime in areas where lynxes are common, encounters with these predators are rare and memorable. \n\nUnique characteristics \n\nThe lynx preys almost exclusively on the snowshoe hare. Since snowshoe hare populations follow a 10-year cycle, lynx numbers also fluctuate dramatically, building to a peak as hare populations increase, and then crashing. Scientists who have examined the fur-trading records of the Hudson’s Bay Company have been able to trace closely linked 10-year cycles of growth and decline in populations of the two species over the past 200 years. Figure 1 shows the cyclic fluctuations in the numbers of snowshoe hare and lynx pelts supplied to the company over a 90-year period.\n\nFor the rest of the Canada Lynx fact sheet go here... http://www.hww.ca/hww2.asp?id=84

There are quite a few critters that will eat scorpions given a chance.\n\nMeerkats in Africa are particularily skilled at it, often chewing off the stinger first so they won't get stung.  Many of them appear to be pretty much immune to the venom, only annoyed by the stings themselves.\n\nIt's probable that few wild scorpions will survive long enough to die of old age.

The answer depends on what your definition of the "top predator" actually is, and whether you are refering to the entire continent of Africa or a specific country, i.e. South Africa.\n\nHowever, I suspect that the answer you are looking for is the Nile Crocodile.\n\n***************\n\n2nd Attempt :-)\n\nSo, if I'm wrong in my assumption that it is the Crocodile, then perhaps my first guess was correct and I should have said 'Carcharodon carcharias' - the Great White Shark.

Female cheetahs are almost always solitary except when being courted or if they have young.  They do not defend territories.  They travel far over vast areas of up to 600 square miles.  Male cheetahs, often in groups of 2 or 3, establish patrol and defend territories of 20-25 square miles.  These territories are somewhat greater in average size in Eastern then in Southern Africa. \n\nMales often remain with females for two days if they are breeding.  If a coalition of males find a female, there may be mild aggression among them (the males may also cause the female some anxiety because they will surround her and check to see if she is in season).  This is nothing compared to fights between coalitions. \n\nAfter a gestation period of 90-95 days, a female gives birth to as many as 9 cubs but seldom more then 3 or 4 survive.  They are born in lairs situated among boulders, tall vegetation, or a marsh. Sadly, the mortality among cubs is very high especially within the first two months of their lives.  Causes of their mortality are predation, grassfires, disease, exposure, and infanticide by male cheetahs.  Of all of these, predation takes the most toll.  Lions, spotted hyenas, jackals, and birds of prey will kill them if they find them.  A mother may be gone for up to 48 hours or more while hunting.  What seems to help them is their natal coat.  It is light gray and wooly on the cub's back and black on its belly. The cubs lose this coat by four months.  Its main function seems to be for camouflage.  I have also read that a very young cheetah almost looks like a honey badger.  Honey badgers are aggressive animals and it is thought that the coloring of a cheetah cub mimics them so that some predators would leave them alone.....Surviving cubs are brought out of their den at 6 to 8 weeks and they accompany their mother from then on.  They are extremely playful with each other during this time.  This helps them practice their hunting skills.  At three months, the mother brings home live prey (usually a baby gazelle) to her cubs.  They further practice their hunting skills by chasing it, etc.  This way, the cubs soon learn to kill for themselves. They leave their mothers at 14 to 18 months but they are still inexperienced hunters.  Because of this, the cubs stay together for about 6 months after leaving their mother.  After this, the females leave to go off on their own and the brothers stay together for life\n\n\nmng.1432@gmail.com

The big cats are the only predators of Langurs, especially the tigers.Being arborial they can outwit many enimies, but tigers can take them by surprise.

The Cheetah (derived from Sanskrit word Chitraka meaning "Speckled") (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts

If polar bears had the opportunity to eat penguins, I'm quite sure they would. The reason they don't is because polar bears and penguins live a long distance apart. Polar bears live in Arctic regions of North America, Europe and Asia, whereas penguins live in the southern hemisphere. Some books imply that all penguins live in Antarctica. This is not true - in fact, only two species (the Adelie and emperor penguins) breed on Antarctica. Several species of penguins live around South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and the Galapagos penguins live on the Galapgos islands (surprise!), which are on the equator. This is still a long way from the Arctic. \n\nThe problem about polar bears and penguins relates to many Christmas cards etc, which show polar animals living together, when, in fact, they don't. \n\nI hope that this answers your question. \n\nAll the best \n\nHaley

Yes. In addition to their large evergrowing incisors (the tusks), they have massive molars with a crushing surface that looks like one of those old washing tables. They have 6 upper and 6 lower molariforms on each side, but only 2 of them are functioning at a given time. The others are inside the alveoli in the skull and jaw bone and come out after the first ones get completely worn. They don't have more than those 6 replacements, so when their last molars are worn, they cannot grind food (old elephants in zoos need a special soft diet).\n\nHere's a photograph showing the crushing surface of the molar teeth:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/skulls/loxodonta/l._africana/163809.tooth.jpg/view.html\n\nAnd a frontal view of the skull with the incisors:\nhttp://www.dundee.ac.uk/museum/zoology/bagful/1971A.JPG

There is only one continent in the world where giraffes live. It is Africa. Giraffes choose to live on the flat, grassy areas with some trees and bushes. In Africa these areas are called savannas. We can also call them grasslands or woodlands.\n       Africa is very hot and its savannas have tropical or subtropical climate. There is a period of rain in summer and a very dry winter. \nSome savannas are located in the deserts. For example there are some of them in the Sahara Desert, which covers a large part of North Africa. \n        Savannas provide everything giraffes need to live. They like hot\nweather, trees provide some shade, and their leaves are food for giraffes.There is not much water, especially during dry periods of the year, but giraffes can manage without water for a long time. That is why African savannas are a great habitat for giraffes. \n       There are many African countries where you can see giraffes. They are most popular in Niger, located mostly on the area of Sahara Desert in North Africa. There are also many of them in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania on the east of the continent, and South Africa, and Botswana in the very south. \n\ns

Lions aren't stronger than Tigers. Siberian Tigers have about 100lbs on Lions in general, depending on the individual animal. And 500lbs on a hyena. The assumption that a hyena could kill a tiger is untrue. Because while the hyenas have the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom, they are far smaller than tigers. So hyenas are not stronger than any of the Tigers, they have stronger jaws, but that is not the same thing.\nSiberian Tigers are the largest of all the big cats.  \nI would lean towards the Siberian Tiger because pound for pound, it is heavier, and actually probably more muscular. However it really depends on which tiger you would be using for comparison according the below link.

Cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.\n\nCheetahs are included on the IUCN list: vulnerable species (African subspecies threatened, Asiatic subspecies in critical situation) as well as on the US ESA: threatened species - Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Approximately 12,400 cheetahs remain in the wild in 25 African countries; Namibia has the most, with about 2,500. Another 100-200 are thought to remain in Iran. There have been successful breeding programs, including the use of in-vitro fertilization, in zoos around the world.
