Grevy's Zebra

Endangered. Their range is Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia. There are fewer than 3,000 remaining in the wild. Hunting for their skins and competition for food and water with domestic livestock are contributing factors to their decline. The largest of the three zebra species, they can be distinguished by a large patch of white found on either side of its tail.

 

The Wilds is one of the largest and most innovative wildlife conservation centers in the world. Located on nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed strip-mined land in southeast Ohio, it is home to rare and endangered species from around the world living in natural, open-range habitat, as well as home to hundreds of indigenous species.

 

The Wilds is a private, non-profit conservation center. It was created as the conservation center of the future by a group of civic leaders, political leaders and zoo professionals who believed that a serious scientific approach was required to find solutions to environmental concerns.

 

From its inception, the Wilds has been envisioned as a facility that combines cutting-edge conservation science and education programs with unique visitor opportunities.
