More About Zebra

  • Zebras are equids, members of the horse family.
  • They have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour).
  • They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator, like a lion, a hyena, or an African wild dog.
  • Usually the lead male of the herd, called a stallion, stays at the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary, while the mares (females) and foals (youngsters) run from danger.
  • Different zebra species have different types of stripes, from narrow to wide.
  • Zebras are herbivores and feed mostly by grazing on grasses, although they also might browse a bit on the leaves and stems of bushes.
  • They graze for many hours each day, using their strong front teeth to clip off the tips of the grass.
  • Their back teeth then crush and grind the food.
  • Spending so much time chewing wears the zebra's teeth down, so their teeth keep growing all their lives.
  • As the dry season arrives and the grasses die back, zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking.
  • Zebras communicate with one another with facial expressions and sounds
  • Zebra foals are dark brown and white at birth. They can walk just 20 minutes after they are born, and can run after an hour!
  • It has a heavy head, stout body, short, stiff mane, and tufted tail
  • The zebra's natural enemies are the lion and the leopard.
  • .Zebras have been hunted extensively for their flesh and skins, but the plains zebra and Grevy's zebra are still numerous
