Unlike their closest relatives, horses and asses , zebras have never been truly domesticated There are three species of zebra: the plains zebra Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra . The plains zebra and the mountain zebra belong to the subgenus Hippotigris , but Grevy's zebra is the sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus . The latter resembles an ass , while the former two are more horse-like. Nevertheless, DNA and molecular data show that zebras do indeed have monophyletic origins. All three belong to the genus

The black and white stripes also act as camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body. Home Wildlife > Zebra Zebra Physical Characteristics Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly for their large size and have teeth built for grinding and cropping grass. Zebras have horselike bodies, but their manes are made of short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped. Three species of zebra still occur in Africa, two of which are found in East Africa. The most numerous and widespread species in the east is Burchell's, also known as the common or plains zebra. The other is the Grevy's zebra , named for Jules Grevy, a president of France in the 1880s who received one from Abyssinia as a gift, and now found mostly in northern Kenya. (The third species, Equus zebra , is the mountain zebra, found in southern and southwestern Africa.)

Zebras' The distinctive African horse. Known for their striped coats and ability to kick. Well what would you do if hungry lion was climbing up your back? That kick can kill a Hyaena, in one recorded instance it was used by Plains zebras to kill a Wildebeest calf. The calf had become separated from its mother and was likely to attract the attention of a predator with its cries, the execution seemed a kindness. Zebra numbers are declining as their lands are reduced by human habitation and they are still hunted for their attractive coats. They are also seen as competition for the domestic livestock of the human population. Zebras' are also susceptible to diseases introduced by domestic equine stock, not having the same resistance. Historically zebras were used as food, in harness and as guards of livestock, now they are a tourist attraction, which offers them some protection. Plains Zebras in South East Africa. A picture with the kind permission of Vern Moore. Why they are striped is still an unanswered question. Several theories have been put forward but non with absolute certainty. It could be that all the theories are to some extent correct. There are residual stripes on other species of horse such as the Przewalski and the Icelandic it seems possible, to me, that the stripes are the only remaining examples of much more common equine markings.

Out and About South Africa Wildlife The Zebra The Zebra belongs to the horse family. Its distinguishing marks are its unique black stripes, akin to the fingerprints on humans. One of nature's great mysteries is why the Zebra has stripes. One theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down. On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection. Hot air then rises off the black stripes forcing colder air down around the white areas thus cooling the zebra down. This, however is just a theory. Quick Facts Name: Burchell's Zebra - Equus burchellii; Grevy's Zebra - Equus grevyi Size: Burchell's Zebra stands 45 to 55 inches at the shoulder. Grevy stands 50 to 60 inches.

The different species display various striping patterns and live within different areas of Africa. Zebras - Description and Range Plains Zebras have broader stripes that travel north to south, smaller ears, and shorter heads than the other two species. They look like ponies and range from 11-13 hands (44-52 inches) at the withers. There are four sub species of the Plains Zebra: Grant's and Bohm's Zebra ( Equus burchelli boehmi ); Selous' Zebra ( Equus buchelli selousi ); Damaraland and Chapman's Zebra ( Equus burchelli antiquorum ); and, Burchell's Zebra ( Equus burchelli burchelli ). The Plains Zebra has an estimated population of 300,000. They roam the Savannah's in Eastern and Central Africa. They have mouths that allow them to eat all types of grass from short and tender to tall and rough. Their digestion system requires that they eat and drink often. Picture source: Oregon Zoo Animals Grevy's Zebras are the largest of all the Zebras. Their stripes are narrow and placed close together. They have a dorsal type of stripe that is bordered by a white stripe on both sides. The Grevy's ears are curved and long. They have long legs and a long erect black-tipped mane. They stand between 55-57 inches and may weigh as much as 880lbs (400kg). The smaller range of the Grevy Zebra consists mostly of Northern Kenya. Their range can also continue into Ethiopia and Somalia. They must also drink frequently, but are more accustomed to drier climates. They can dig water holes if needed. Another notable difference between the Plains Zebra and the Grevy Zebras is territorial issues. The Grevy is territorial, but the Plains Zebra is not. The Grevy stallions will indicate their territories with urine, feces and by braying. These groups consist of mares with young, herds without a stallion, and lone adult males. Breeding will always take place within the territory.
