Zebras, horses and wild asses are all equids. Zebras have horse-like bodies, but their manes are made of short, erect hair, their tails are tufted at the tip and their coats are striped.
No animal has a more distinctive coat than the zebra. Each animal's stripes are as unique as fingerprints—no two are exactly alike. Zebras are social animals that spend time in herds. They graze together, and even groom one another.
There are three species of zebra:
1. Burchell's or the plains zebra is most common.
2. The mountain zebra
3, Grévy's zebra is the largest type
Each has its own general pattern. The stripes act as camouflage. The patterns make it difficult for predators to identify just one animal from a running herd, and can distort distance, and may also help zebras recognize one another because of their uniqueness.
They have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator, like a lion.
Hope you enjoy!

The Grévy's zebra is the largest extant wild equid and the largest and most threatened of the three species of zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.
The Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands where it feeds on grasses, legumes, and browse; it can survive up to five days without water. It differs from the other zebra species in that it does not live in harems and has few long-lasting social bonds. Male territoriality and mother–foal relationships form the basis of the social system of the Grévy's zebra. This zebra is considered to be endangered. Its population has declined from 15,000 to 3,000 since the 1970s. However, as of 2008, the population is stable.

The Grévy's Zebra (Equus gravy), 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 Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands in Kenya and Ethiopia.
The Bronx Zoo, located within the Bronx Park, is the largest metropolitan zoo in the United States, comprising 265 acres of parklands and naturalistic habitats and home to over 4,000 animals. Focused on conservation, it opened on November 8, 1899, with 22 exhibits, 843 animals. The zoo's origins date back to 1895, with the establishment of the New York Zoological Society (NYZS), renamed Wild Conservation Society (WCS) in 1993. Only the outer structure of the World of Reptiles remains much as it was in 1899. With the 1941 opening of African Plains, the Bronx Zoo was one of the first U.S. zoos to move away from cages and exhibit animals in naturalistic habitats.
This is Samburu's special grevy's zebra. The stripes are more thin and narrowly placed all over it's body but the belly which makes them also easy to distinguish from common zebras that have stripes all over their belly.
Some of my pics are also on stock.

Grevy's Zebra are the largest of three Zebra species with less than 3,000 left in the wild
In mid July my wife and I visited the Wilds in Cumberland Ohio, and took one of their open air Safari Tours of the park.
The Wilds sits on 10,000 aches of land that was strip mined in the 60's then reclaimed and donated to form one of our countries largest wildlife conservation areas. It is home to endangered species from around the world.
This is my third set of photos of some of the animals and sights I at this wonderful conservation park.
Zebra are one of the most iconic African species with their distinctive black-and-white striped coats. Their striped patterns are entirely unique, meaning no two zebras have identical markings; just like a human fingerprint!
Grévy’s Zebra (aka Imperial Zebra) are the largest of the wild Horse species. They differ in appearance from the other two species of Zebra due to their mule-like characteristics, in particular their long and narrow heads and large ears.
