Grevy’s Zebra
Equus grevyi
Grevy’s zebras are the largest of three zebra species. Each zebra has a unique stripe pattern, just like a human’s fingerprints!
HABITAT
Grevy’s zebras live in the semi-arid scrublands and grasslands of east Africa.
The Braille Institute "History Of The Coachella Valley" class went on a field trip to The Living Desert today. I got to go along as a sighted guide.
I was lucky enough to witness the birth of a live Grevy's Zebra (Equus grevyi) foal in the wild in 2009. Grevy's zebra is endangered, with only abou 2500 individuals remaining in the wild. The birth is described and discussed in a scientific paper published in the journal Ethology. The paper is available at www.blaircostelloe.com/Research. To my knowledge, this is the only documented observation of a wild Grevy's zebra birth to date.
The Grevy's Zebras were having a fun time chasing each other; as if they were playing tag. They would roll in the dirt and make up. These boys were having fun summer day.These photos were taken of the Grevy's Zebras at the San Diego Zoo on a sunny June day.
Equus grevyi
The Grevy’s zebra was not named for its discoverer, but rather for Jules Grevy, a former president of France who received the first known specimen in 1882.
