Grevy's Zebra are the largest of three Zebra species with less than 3,000 left in the wild. Here the Zebras are grazing with a herd of Common Eland.
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 an endagered species that lives in northern Kenya and parts of Ethiopia.

GREVY'S ZEBRA
Behavior
The Grevy’s zebra is a loosely social animal - herd composition varies daily as members come and go. A stallion’s attachment to his land and a mare’s attachment to her young are the most stable relationships in Grevy’s zebra society. Within the herd, dominance is relatively non-existent, except for the right a territorial male has to a breeding female. If no females are around, the resident male will associate with bachelor males in a friendly manner (though always asserting dominance upon initiation of contact).
Grevy's mate throughout the year, but the peak birth and mating periods for the Grevy's zebra are usually July through August and October through November. Grevy's zebras breed in 2 year intervals starting at the age of 3 for females and age 6 for males. Newborn foals are russet-colored with a long hair crest down the back and belly. The mother keeps other zebras at a distance while the offspring imprints on her and they spend time playing, nuzzling and nursing. Newborns can walk just 20 minutes after they are born, which is an important survival adaptation for this migrating species. Young Grevy's are especially vulnerable to predators, and foal survival has been directly related to the extent to which their mothers move.

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 ;)

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.
