Zebras face many dangers. The first dangers are predators. These include lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs. They also are losing grazing land to farmers and ranchers, who cause them to travel longer distances all while being hunted by predators. They also are hunted for their meat and hides. There are three types of zebras: the common zebra, the Grevy's zebra, and the mountain zebra. The last two are endangered.
