There are three species of zebra.

The plains zebra is classified as "least concern," which means that they aren't even threatened. There is however, a subspecies, the quagga, which was hunted to extinction in the late 1800s.

The mountain zebra is classified as "vulnerable", which means that they are being monitored, and may become endangered. They were hunted near to extinction, and have since recovered rather well.

Grevy's zebra, however, is classified as "endangered", due mostly to over hunting, and loss of habitat (to domestic cattle).
