Grevyzebra - Grévy's zebra
Das Grevyzebra lebt im nordöstlichen Afrika, hauptsächlich in Äthiopien und Kenia in trockenen Gebieten und ist eher einzelgängerisch. Als Hauptnahrung dienen Gräser, seltener auch weichere Pflanzen.
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 (Equus grevyi), 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 other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. It is the sole extant member of the subgenus Dolichohippus. The Grévy's zebra 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 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 largely inhabits northern Kenya, with some isolated populations in Ethiopia. It was extirpated from Somalia and Djibouti and its status in South Sudan is uncertain. It lives in Acacia-Commiphora bushlands and barren plains. Ecologically, this species is intermediate between the arid-living African wild ass and the water-dependent plains zebra. – Wikipedia
These Grevy's were seen in Lewa Conservancy, Kenya. The Grevy's are the largest Zebra species and the most endangered. Also known as the "Imperial" Zebra, they are taller than the plains Zebra, with larger ears and a more erect mane. Less than 2,000 of them are in the wild.

Fewer than 3,000 of the world's largest living equid survive. Found in Kenya and Ethiopia, they suffer from poaching and loss of habitat. They compete with cattle for water. The herd at the Cumberland, Ohio refuge is quite healthy.
The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra inhabit semi-arid grasslands where they have access to a permanent water source. Historically, the Grevy’s inhabited the semi-arid scrublands and plains of Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Kenya in East Africa. However, due to rapid declines in their population, they are now confined to the Horn of Africa - primarily southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya.
They live in dry areas and can go for up to 5 days without water. They can also dig holes to find water when necessary.
These beautiful animals are endangered and are only found in parts of Ethiopia and Kenya. Their numbers have dropped from about 15,000 in the 1980’s to less than 3,000 today due to hunting, habitat loss and extreme drought and have been placed in the RED List by IUCN.

The Grevy's Zebra is considered Endangered. In 2016 there were only about 2,000 adult zebras in Northern Kenya which is primarily where this Zebra can still be found in the wild. The Grevy is the largest Zebra breed, also known as the Imperial Zebra.

Found within the 65,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust, the conservancy is home to the single largest population of Grevy’s Zebra in the world. It also contains about 10% of Kenya’s Black Rhino population. Because of extremely strict anti-poaching measures, there has been no poaching in Lewa Downs for several years.
According to Wikipedia, the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), 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 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.

Adult males mostly live in territories during the wet seasons but some may stay in them year round if there's enough water left. Stallions that are unable to establish territories are free-ranging and are known as bachelors. Females, young and non-territorial males wander through large home ranges. The females will wander from territory to territory preferring the ones with the highest-quality food and water sources. Up to nine males may compete for a female outside of a territory. Territorial stallions will tolerate other stallions who wander in their territory, however when an oestrous female is present the territorial stallion keeps other males at bay. Non-territorial males may avoid territorial ones because of harassment. When females are not around, a territorial stallion will seek the company of other stallions. The stallion shows his dominance with an arched neck and a high-stepping gait and the least dominant stallions submit by extending their tail, lowering their heads and nuzzling their superior's chest or groin.
The Grevy’s zebra is now listed as Endangered A1a, 2c by the IUCN/SSC Equid Specialist Group, and is also listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna, which offers them the highest protection against illegal trading.
This very endangered and handsome Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi) was photographed busy feeding on a late evening game drive in the semi-arid area of Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

A nice group of Grévy's zebras in the early morning light.
Grévy's zebra is the largest living wild equid and the most threatened of the species. It is found in parts of Kenya and Ethiopia. Grévy's zebras' physical features can help to identify it from the other zebra species; their overall appearance is slightly closer to that of a mule, compared to the more "equine" (horse) appearance of the plains and mountain zebras. Compared to other zebra species, Grévy's are the tallest; they have mule-like, larger ears, and have the tightest stripes of all zebras. They have distinctively erect manes, and more slender snouts.
The Grévy's zebra live in semi-arid savanna, where they feed on grasses, legumes, and browse, such as acacia; they can survive up to five days without water. They differ from the other zebra species in that they do not live in a harem, and they maintain few long-lasting social bonds. Stallion territoriality and mother–foal relationships form the basis of the social system of the Grévy's zebra. In its native home this zebra is listed by the IUCN as endangered. Its population has declined from 15,000 to 2,000 since the 1970s. In 2016, the population was reported to be "stable"; however, as of 2020, the wild numbers are still estimated at only around 2,250 animals.
