Grevy's Zebra are restricted to more arid parts of northern Kenya, Ethiopia and possibly Somalia. Populations have drastically declined in recently years partly because of competition with domestic livestock for water. This decline is accelerating because of the continued development of large ranges in the best parts of their range.

The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), sometimes known as the Imperial zebra, is the largest species of zebra. It is found in the wild in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared to other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower. In fact, the Grévy's Zebra isn't much of a zebra at all - its DNA is more similar to that of a horse. The species is named after Jules Grévy, a president of France, who, in the 1880s, was given one by the government of Abyssinia. In certain regions of Kenya, the plains zebras and Grévy's zebras coexist. The Grévy's zebra was the first zebra to be discovered by the Europeans and was used by the ancient Romans in circuses. Later, it was largely forgotten about in the Western world until the seventeenth century.

You don't have to speak zebra to know who won this fight. Two male Grevy's Zebra showing a display of dominance. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya
I didn't intend for the focus to be on the foreground. I was taking rapid shots and as they moved, the focus point changed. But, I actually like the effect.
I appreciate any comments, criticisms and suggestions that will help me improve my work!

Stripes on the Grevy's zebra are skinnier than on the common zebra, and the ears are large, rounded, and heavily fringed.

GREVY'S ZEBRA
Did You Know?
•Stripes to a zebra are like fingerprints to a human. No two patterns are identical. AWF researchers use the unique stripes to identify individuals.
•Grevy's zebras can run up to 40 mph (64 kph).
•Foals can run with the rest of the herd within an hour of their birth. They can also recognize their mothers using their eyesight and their sense of smell

Scientific Name: Equus grevyi
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. 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 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.
