Zebras are herbivores, meaning they eat grass (primary producers), to keep the environment in healthy shape and to prevent one species of grass from overrunning an area. Their presence also prevents other herbivores from taking over an entire area. As herbivores, they are also a food source for carnivores. Without them, animals such as cheetahs, hyenas, and lions would not be able to eat and survive. With the death of carnivores, the level of other herbivores would rise, and the level of grass (primary producers) would decrease due to population increases and low food supplies. Eventually, many animals and plant species would die. A biome would fail as a whole.
Zebras, as all animals indigenous to an area, keep an environment balanced.
Probably, since they are part of the food chain.
zebras are at the 2nd stage of the food chain
Lions, cheetahs, jaguars, and maybe hyenas hunt zebras for their food. So yes, zebras are prey to a few animals in Africa.
On the "Savannah"
An animal at the bottom of the food chain is a primary consumer. Primary consumers in the Kalahari include zebras, antelope, gazelle, wildebeest, feral goats, and some birds and insects. Animals at the second level of the food chain include lions, leopards, jackals, and birds of prey.
Zebras are grazers. Shrubs, twigs, bark and leaves form their food.

They are part of the food chain and environment.
Yes. Omnivorous zebras are an integral part of the food chain.
They find food, since they are herbivorous animals--animals which eat plants.
In a white lion's food chain, they are carnivores and their diet includes a variety of animals such as antelope, zebras, wildebeests, and sometimes smaller mammals like rabbits or birds. White lions are at the top of the food chain in their ecosystem and do not have natural predators.
Animals look for food when they are hungry. Very few animals hunt or scavenge for food when they don't need it.
