What it concludes

• Leopards need to find prey grazing close to the edge or in the gully itself to succeed.
• Ants raise their bodies above the surface where it is 10 degrees cooler, but they must keep moving to avoid overheating.
• Lions will normally avoid hunting in extreme heat, but they are opportunists and will attack buffalo if necessary.
• Only one in ten wildebeest calves will survive to adulthood, but that is enough to maintain the million-strong herd.
• Many desert animals stay hidden all day and only venture out in the cool of the night to avoid extreme heat.
