Horses and zebras belong to the equine genus Equus. Other animals of this genus include donkeys and asses and subfamilies within these, such as the onager, kiang and kulan.
Another member of the horse family is/was the quagga, a recently extinct subspecies of the Plains Zebra. The quagga was one found through Cape Province and parts of South Africa in large numbers. It was hunted to extinction by the 1870s because farmers believed it was too much competition for their own livestock for the food sources. The last known specimen died in an Amsterdam zoo on 12 August 1883. However, since then, a breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains zebra.

∙ 12y agoThough there are physical differences (such as size and weight), behavioral differences (social structure of the herd) and genetic differences, they are somewhat related. In captivity donkeys and zebras have mated to produce a zeedonk, which means they share many of the same genes in order to produce a living offspring. The first zeedonk was born in the Colchester Zoo in Essex, England.
A zebra's natural habitat is out in the wild - e.g. Africa or a place with long wide grassy fields.
A horse can go anywhere because it was used originally for riding.

What is the difference between a zorse and a hebra?
A zorse is the result of a cross between a male zebra and a mare. A hebra is the offspring of a male horse and a female zebra. I think the difference in nomenclature is because the cross between a mare and a male donkey produces a mule, whereas the cross betwween a male horse and a female donkey does not create the same thing... It produces a hinny which looks more like a horse than a donkey. Therefore, different names were created depending on which animal was the sire and the dam.
