...and what's a lion's favourite breakfast? Answers below.

Pictures: Cheetah, lion family breakfast, lion doing his business : all in the Masai Mara, Kenya.

1] Leopard? Wrong. Picture one is a cheetah family, the fastest animal in Africa with a top speed of 112kph, 70mph.
2] The lion in picture two is spraying the Land Rover with essence du jour [i.e. urine], marking it as his territory. Animals like these don't seem to notice carefully driven jeeps, sometimes fooling tourists into jumping down from their vehicle for a closer [camera] shot. The tourist then gets a high-speed close-up of a predator's claws and canines - often fatal to the human, but a refreshingly different flavour for the predator.
3] Lions often eat gazelle, antelope and zebra when they must, but wildebeest sashimi, such as in picture three, provides a big, tasty meal for the whole pride without too much hassle. Good enough until the next unwary, cat loving photographer jumps down from a jeep....
