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.
Grevy's Zebra (Equus grevyi) is the largest type of Zebra. It is an inhabitant of the grasslands of Ethiopia and northern Kenya. The Grevy's Zebra is one of the rarest species of Zebra around today, and is classified as endangered.
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.

The safari continues...
There are two types of zebras' in Africa...the Plains Zebra and the Grevy's Zebra.

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.

Grévy's zebra foal at Natura Artis Magistra (Amsterdam - the Netherlands)
Artis, short for Natura Artis Magistra (Latin for "Nature is the teacher of art"), is a zoo in the centre of Amsterdam and was founded in 1838.
Where Have All the Zebras Gone? - Unlike the plentiful plains zebra, the Grevy’s zebra is critically endangered. In 1977 there were approximately 15,200 Grevy’s zebra. Today there are fewer than 2000 remaining. Grevy’s zebra are being crowded out of their grazing habitat by domestic livestock and are threatened by poorly managed tourism. They are legally protected in Ethiopia and benefit from a hunting ban in Kenya.
The Skinny on Stripes - All zebra are white with black stripes not black with white stripes! The stripes of the Grevy’s zebra are very narrow compared to other zebra species. Their stripes continue all the way down their legs to the hooves, and the underbelly is white. The pattern of stripes on each zebra is unique and can be used to identify individual animals.
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.

The Grevy's Zebra was on the move to safer ground with Rabbitwoman and Dogman by Gillie and Marc.
In A Wild Life for Wildlife 11 works by Gillie and Marc were displayed around London Bridge City, between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, in a collaboration with ZSL to highlight the perils of endangered species. The sculptures feature interactions between endangered animals and the characters Rabbitwoman and Dogman which were created by the artists.

Absolutely ghastly geotagging, Flickr. Not even the right side of the river.

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 a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator, like a lion.
Hope you enjoyed my pics!

A grumpy grevy's zebra annoyed by the flies around his back. Trying to scare them away with a back kick.
I love this one's expression and hair cut ;)
Some of my pics are also on stock.

Grevy's Zebras at Chessington World of Adventures Zoo
The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the Imperial zebra, is the largest extant wild equid and one of 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.[2] Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower. It is more ass-like in appearance as compared to other zebras, which are more horse-like.
The Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands where it feeds on grasses, legumes, and branches; 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.
