Zebra – Horse

Zebras are primarily grazers and can subsist on lower-quality vegetation. They are preyed on mainly by lions and typically flee when

threatened but also bite and kick. Zebra species differ in social behaviour, with plains and mountain zebra living in stable harems

consisting of an adult male or stallion, several adult females or mares, and their young or foals; while Grévy’s zebra live al

one or in loosely associated herds. In harem-holding species, adult females mate only with their harem stallion, while male Grévy’s zebras establish territories which attract females and the species is promiscuous. Zebras communicate with various vocalisatio

ns, body postures and facial expressions. Social grooming strengthens social bonds in plains and mountain zebras.
