Why are zebras in danger?

Answer 1

because people eat them and use their skin to sell and make money . selfish people

Answer 2

Because of habitat distruction, pollution, and poaching. Zebras are large, wild horses and live in Africa. The Grevy's zebra is the largest horse in the world, so it would be killed for its meat

Answer 3

Grevy's Zebra is a rare zebra that is in danger of becoming extinct. The decline in population of this zebra is due to the change in habitat, poaching, inadequate food and the scarcity of water sources.

Answer 4

Zebras are endangered due to the destruction of their prime habitat, grasslands. Savannas are vanishing. Also, illegal trade in zebra hides is a constant threat. In fact,the quagga a subspecies of the Plains Zebra went extinct in the 1870s due to overhunting for its meat and hides.

Answer 5

Modern man has had great impact on the zebra population. Zebras were, and still are, hunted mainly for their skins. The Cape mountain zebra was hunted to near extinction with less than 100 individuals by the 1930s. However the population has increased to about 700 due to conservation efforts. Both Mountain zebra subspecies are currently protected in national parks but are still endangered. The Grevy's zebra is also endangered. Hunting and competition from livestock have greatly decreased their population. Because of the population's small size, environmental hazards, such as drought, are capable of easily affecting the entire species. Plains zebras are much more numerous and have a healthy population. Nevertheless they too are threatened by hunting and habitat change from farming. One subspecies, the quagga, is now extinct.
