Description
Zebras are wild herbivores native to Africa, easily recognized by their distinctive black-and-white stripes. Each zebra’s stripe pattern is unique, and scientists believe the stripes may help with camouflage, deter insects, or regulate body temperature. Zebras live in social groups and are constantly on the move in search of fresh grass and water. There are three main species—Plains, Mountain, and Grevy’s zebras—with some facing threats from habitat loss and human activity, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
