Plains Zebra
The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga), also known as the common zebra, is the most abundant of three species of zebra. Zebras have very good hearing and eyesight, which helps them stay clear of predators such as lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. It also helps that they can run 56 km/h (35 mph) and pack a powerful kick. If one zebra spots a predator, it lets out a sharp two-syllable call. The young and female zebras run, while the males trail behind to defend them. If one is attacked, others circle around to help protect it from predators. Photographed in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. Africa.
