Lewa Wildlife Concervancy

Kenya

East Africa

 

Found within the 65,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust, the conservancy is home to the single largest population of Grevy’s Zebra in the world.

 

According to Wikipedia, the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest extant wild equid and the largest and most endangered of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is the sole extant member of the subgenus Dolichohippus. The Grévy's zebra is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.
