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 enjoy!

The Grevy's zebra is an endangered species native to northern Kenya and southern and eastern Ethiopia and Somalia (Grevy's zebra is now extinct in Somalia). The total population in the wild is estimated to be from two to six thousand.
These particular zebras live on a private ranch in Central Texas. Note the characteristic large erect ears, white belly and narrow black stripes overall which are bisected by a dark mane down the spine. It is the largest zebra of the three zebra species.

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.
