Zebras are a wild striped cousin to the horse. Their name comes from the Portuguese word zevra which translates to wild ass.
Global Stripes
Like horses, zebras can thrive in many habitats and are found in the plains, forests, mountains and on the coast.
Their biggest predator is man, who hunts them for their striped coat and destroys their natural habitat.
More Than One Type
The striped patterns are individual to each animal and there are three different types of zebra.
1. Plains zebra
2. Mountain zebra
3. Grevy’s zebra
Here are some beautiful zebra shots you probably haven’t seen
