Zebra
Zebra is a large, wild animal that belongs to the horse family. It is native to Africa and is known for its distinctive black and white striped coat. There are three species of zebra: the plains zebra, the mountain zebra, and the Grévy's zebra.
Description
Zebras are large, sturdy animals that are similar in size and shape to horses. They have a distinctive black and white striped coat, which is unique to each individual. The stripes are believed to serve several purposes, including camouflage and temperature regulation. Zebras have a long, tufted tail and a mane of short, erect hair.
Species
There are three species of zebra: the plains zebra, the mountain zebra, and the Grévy's zebra. The plains zebra is the most common and widespread species, while the mountain zebra and the Grévy's zebra are both endangered.
Plains Zebra
The plains zebra is the most common and widespread species of zebra. It is found throughout eastern and southern Africa and has several subspecies.
Mountain Zebra
The mountain zebra is found in southwestern Africa and has two subspecies: the Cape mountain zebra and the Hartmann's mountain zebra.
Grévy's Zebra
The Grévy's zebra is the largest species of zebra and is found in northern Kenya and Ethiopia. It is the most endangered of the three species.
Behavior
Zebras are social animals that live in small family groups called harems. These groups consist of one stallion, several mares, and their offspring. Zebras are also known for their aggressive behavior and will bite or kick when threatened.
Conservation
All three species of zebra are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. The mountain zebra and the Grévy's zebra are both listed as endangered by the IUCN.
