All breeds- White-breasted Guineafowl, Black Guineafowl, Helmeted Guineafowl, Plumed Guineafowl, Kenya Crested Guineafowl, Crested Guineafowl, Vulturine Guineafowl.
1 answer
There are several different breeds of guineafowls, including the Helmeted Guineafowl, Crested Guineafowl, Vulturine Guineafowl, and Plumed Guineafowl. Each breed has unique characteristics and appearances.
1 answer
Black, white-breasted, plumed, and crested guineafowl feed on a range of plants and small invertebrates obtained by scratching in the leaf litter. Crested guineafowl may also feed in trees on berries and other fruits, and on bulbs from below the ground.
Vulturine guineafowl also feed on a range of plant and animal items and will sometimes perch in bushes to feed on fruits. Unlike all other guineafowl, this species appears to survive without readily-available drinking water.
Helmeted guineafowl are the most omnivorous of the guineafowl species, taking a broad range of plant and animal material (even small toads) from above and below the ground, switching their preferences to whatever appears to be abundant at the time, but focusing on insects and other arthropods during the breeding season.

The bird was named for the country. The turkey bird was mistakenly identified as a guineafowl when the British settlers arrived. Since guineafowl were from Turkey, the bird was named a turkey. Similar with other things that were misidentified and mislabeled (like Native Americans being called "Indians"), the title of turkey stuck for the animal, even though it has nothing to do with Turkey at all.

It would actually be called a guinea hen. Guineafowl are large black and white striped birds from Africa. They are often kept on farms, because they are aggressive towards predators. They also eat a lot of insects and lay eggs. They are known for being quite noisy.

When Europeans first encountered turkeys in the Americas they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numididae), also known as Turkey fowl (or Turkey hen and Turkey cock) from their importation to Central Europe through Turkey, and that name, shortened to just the name of the country, stuck as the name of the bird. The confusion between these kinds of birds from related but different families is also reflected in the scientific name for the turkey genus: meleagris (μελεαγÏίς) is Greek for guineafowl. The domesticated turkey is attributed to Aztec agriculture, which addressed one subspecies of Meleagris gallopavo local to the present day states of Jalisco and Guerrero.[1]

The name 'turkey', describing the large domestic bird commonly bred worldwide for food, comes from the name of the country, Turkey.
The term originated in the mid-1500s and was given to what we now call a turkey by the English, who mistook the bird for what they then called a 'Turkey fowl' - we know that bird better now as a guineafowl; their confusion could be forgiven: the two birds are related.
The guineafowl was called a 'Turkey fowl' because it arrived in Europe from Turkey, although it didn't originate there; it came from Madagascar.
The turkey as we know it today was domesticated by the Aztecs; the Spanish took the bird back to Spain in 1523, and from there it was introduced across Europe; the name - turkey - given to it by the English stayed with it, and that name travelled back to north America with the early settlers.
So the roast turkey people in the US enjoy at Christmas and Thanksgiving, which didn't come from Turkey, gets its name from a bird popular with the English, which also didn't come from Turkey.

Having raised all kinds of poultry over the last 35 years, I can tell you, and I'm not trying to be silly, that the best egg incubator is the mama hen. My broody chicken hens have hatched out turkeys, ducks, geese, peafowl, pheasants, guineafowl, and, of course, baby chickens. As long as you have food and water available for the broody hen, she takes care of all the other details.
If you don't have a broody chicken hen available, the easiest type of incubator is one that will "turn" the eggs for you and maintain a 100F temperature and the required humidity without fail. A box type, with viewing window, is very nice for occasional hatches or when you have children following the incubation process. A cabinet incubator is invaluable if large or frequent hatches are necessary.

Turkey is the name in English of a bird native to North and Central America. When identified by Europeans it was given the name turkey because it reminded them of the Turkey fowl or Guineafowl which was domesticated in Europe from a wild Turkish species. The French called them 'poule d'Inde' [Chicken of the Indies] and the Spanish 'pavo' [peacock].
In the 1540's imported from Madagascar via Turkey into Europe, by traders known as Turkey Merchants. The North American bird was domesticated by the Aztecs and introduced into Spain by the Conquistadors about 1523
Oh, it's English all right. The bird was introduced to Britain in a roundabout way, and sold by wholesalers who usually dealt with the middle East, and were known as Turkey merchants; so it was called the turkey bird. In the same way, the guinea pig is not a pig, and comes neither from Guinea nor from Guiana....

There are many species of fynbos, a unique floral kingdom of about 9000 species in total found nowhere else on the planet. Fynbos comprises Restionaceae, Proteaceae and Ericaceae primarily but also includes much of Asteraceae and many geophytes.
Disa uniflora is an orchid of Table Mountain worth noting as is the Table Mountain Pride Butterfly. From Proteaceae, Leucadendron argenteum is a tree found ONLY on Table Mountain and very few surrounding hills with bright silver leaves and sexes differentiated between different plants. Porcupines, caracals and babboons are the largest mammals I suspect would venture through the fynbos of Table Mountain.
Birds include Cape francolin/spurfowl, Orange breasted sunbird, the chaffinch which is nonindigenous to the area, Helmeted guineafowl, Spotted/Karroo Prinia, Cape white-eye and many others.

Cheetahs are carnivores and mainly feed on small to medium-sized ungulates like gazelles, impalas, and wildebeests. They are known for their speed and prefer to hunt during the day when their prey is most active. Cheetahs typically consume their prey quickly to avoid competition from other predators.

The adult guinea male is called a cock. He makes a one-syllable sound when alerted by anything unusual. He is also recognized (as the adult pictured) by having larger wattles than the female, and a somewhat larger helmet. He makes a ONE-syllable sound only: "CHI-CHi-Chi-chi...".
The adult female is called the guinea hen. She makes a two-syllable sound commonly: "buck-wheat,buck-wheat". She can immitate the sound of the cock.
As keets, determining the sex is nearly impossible, until they discover their voices at about 8 weeks of age. The size of the wattles on keets will be the nearly the same until they are a few months old when the wattles of the male begin to develop. (Vent sexing keets is difficult.)
Although wattle size and some actions may suggest the sex of a adult guinea fowl, sound is the sure way to determine the sex (as is vent sexing older guineas).

Here's the reason why Turkey is called Turkey. Well actually the word "Turkey" (country) came from England. The English said it was too hard to pronounce the word Turkiye I mean all you have to say is "turk-ee-air." That's what I hate about those pesky English fools. They think they have the right to say any word their way! Especially if it's with Turkiye! My country I came from! The word is actually Turkiye (Tur-kee-yeah). So that's why Turkiye is called Turkey.

Cheetahs prefer impala and gazelles, because they are small enough to catch. They eat about 6 lbs of meat per day. Other items on their menu are gnu (bird), warthog, or even an occasional wildebeest calf. They also like antelope, elephant, and zebra.
As no-one preys on this animal, then it comes top of the food chain, although that depends on what eats what.
Antilope, hares, zebras,
The cheetah is a carnivore, eating mostly mammals under 40 kg (88 lb), including the Thomson's gazelle, the Grant's gazelle, the springbok and the impala. The young of larger mammals such as wildebeests and zebras are taken at times, and adults too, when the cats hunt in groups. Guineafowl and hares are also prey.
The cheetahs' prey are impalas, Thompsons' gazelle, African antelpoes,
and last but not least, jackels.
They often eat gazelles, but will also eat small mammals (such as hares) or birds
Cheetahs eat mainly gazelle, antelope, game birds, and hares. A cheetah will NEVER eat what it doesn't kill.
Well since they are carnivores, (meat eaters) they eat pretty much all types of animals that are in their natural habitats.

The scientific name for poultry - birds, or fowl, which we farm to use for culinary purposes - depends on the type of bird.
Chickens, quails and turkeys fall under the order Galliformes.
The domestic chicken is Gallus gallus domesticus; quail is usually either Coturnix japonica or Coturnix cotumix, while the domestic turkey is descended from Meleagris gallopavo.
The common pheasant is Phasianus colchicus.
Ducks and geese are of the order Anseriformes.
The domestic duck is descended from Anas platyrhynchos, apart from Cairina moscata, the Muscovy Duck, a quieter creature with a stronger flavour than the usual domestic duck.
The domestic (grey) goose is Anser anser domesticus or Anser cygnoides.
I've not included here game birds or other birds which are only rarely farmed, such as emu, ostrich, guineafowl and peafowl, swans, and so on.

The cheetah has a unique, well-structured social order. Females live alone except when they are raising cubs and they raise their cubs on their own. At eighteen months, the mother leaves the cubs, who then form a sibling, or "sib" group, that will stay together for another six months. At about two years, the female siblings leave the group, and the young males remain together for life. Other males may join the group, these are called "Coalitions."
Cheetahs hunt mostly mammals under 88 lbs, including the Thomson's Gazelle, the Grant's gazelle, the springbok and the impala. The young of larger mammals such as wildebeests and zebras are taken at times, and adults too, when the cats hunt in groups. Guineafowl and hares are also prey.
The cheetah's mortality is very high during the early weeks of its life; up to 90% of cheetah cubs are killed during this time by lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, or even by eagles. Coalitions of male cheetahs can also chase away other predators, depending on the coalition size and the size and number of the predator. Because of its speed, a healthy adult cheetah has few predators.
