It belongs to the genus Equus, named after the black and white stripes distributed all over the body. The stripes on every two zebras are different, just like human fingerprints. It is a herbivore. Besides grass, shrubs, branches, leaves and even bark are their food.

The adaptive digestive system enables zebras to survive under low nutritional conditions, which is superior to other herbivores. Zebras are more resistant to African diseases than horses, but zebras have never been domesticated as domestic animals or crossed with horses.

The stripes on zebras are beautiful and elegant, which is one of the main signs of mutual recognition between the same kind. More importantly, they form protective colors to adapt to the environment as an important defense means to ensure their survival.

In the open grassland and desert areas, this black-brown and white stripe will reflect different light under the irradiation of sunlight or moonlight, which will blur or disperse its body contour, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the surrounding environment. This protection of targets that are not easily exposed is very beneficial to the animals themselves.

Zebra living environment

Habitat in dry, open, bushy grasslands and desert areas, mountain zebras like to move in mountainous and undulating mountainous areas; Ordinary zebras inhabit the plains and grasslands; Zebras with fine stripes live in hot and dry semi-desert areas, and are occasionally found on the plains where weeds are scorched.

Zebras are very social and belong to social animals. They eat together (mainly grass) and even comb each other's fur. Zebras live in groups, and even elderly individuals will not be expelled from the group and live alone. However, the population is usually small, that is, about 10 at most, and it is mostly composed of females and males and females who have not reached sexual maturity. The group is very compact but not loose, and cubs like to play together, tear or play with females.
