Facts about this animal
Black and white stripes make the zebra one of the most recognizable animals in the world. The plains zebra, also known as the Burchell zebra, is the most abundant of three species of zebra, inhabiting the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. The other two species are Grevy - s zebras and mountain zebras.
Zebras have shiny coats that dissipate over 70 percent of incoming heat, and some scientists believe the stripes help the animals withstand intense solar radiation. The black and white stripes are a form of camouflage called disruptive coloration that breaks up the outline of the body. Although the pattern is visible during daytime, at dawn or in the evening when their predators are most active, zebras look indistinct and may confuse predators by distorting true distance.
At first glance zebras in a herd might all look alike, but their stripe patterns are as distinctive as fingerprints are in man. Scientists can identify individual zebras by comparing patterns, stripe widths, color and scars.
Zebras
are social animals that spend time in
herds. They graze together, primarily
on grass, and even groom one
another.
Plains (Burchell's) zebras are the
most common species. They live in
small family groups consisting of a
male (stallion), several females, and
their young. These units may combine
with others to form awe-inspiring
herds thousands of head strong, but
family members will remain close
within the herd.
Zebras must be constantly wary of
lions and hyenas. A herd has many
eyes alert to danger. If an animal is
attacked, its family will come to its
defense, circling the wounded zebra
and attempting to drive off
predators.
