Best Answer

Zebra are prey animals. Their responses to natural predatory animals such as lions and hyenas are typically that of flight-first-ask-questions-later, which is typical of a prey animal. They (zebras) are also natural herbivores, which means they eat plants such as grasses, and thus do not hunt and kill other animals to eat.
No, the are herbivores. They eat grass. Another name they go by is grazers.
