Zebras
Described as a "horse in striped pajamas," three species of zebra inhabit Africa. They are equiids, which means they are members of the horse family and are odd-toed ungulates. Zebras inhabit tropical grasslands in sub-Saharan Africa. Social herd animals, they live in groups called harems. Their distinctive black and white stripes have made them a favorite of children for many generations.

The statement about purchasing a zebra being illegal in the US is completely false. There are several sites available in Texas, Colorado and California where they raise zebras for sale TO TAKE HOME. I have investigated this matter, even asking the local Game and Fish department, and my local brand inspector. The brand inspector stated that it is legal to purchase and own a zebra, it conforms to the regular equine laws. Therefore requiring a bill of sale, coggins negative results, and transportation papers (if crossing state lines.) Some sites start out at $2,500, others start out at $4,000. Do your research.

What is the result of a hybrid black horse and brown horse?
Black is a color, not a breed or a hybrid of any kind.
Originally horses came in bay and a mutation occurred which allowed red and black to separate from each other. Black is connected to Agouti, and red (chestnut or sorrel) on extension.
How this works is that the two alleles at extension determine if black is a possible color, and the two alleles at Agouti controls where it is placed.
If a horse is ee at extension he's red, a red horse can have any Agouti status, but it will not show, but can be passed down to it's offspring unless it is aa, which means there is no Agouti present.
EE plus aa means that a horse is Homozygous (dominant) for black, Ee plus aa means the horse is Heterozygous (Recessive) for black.
EE, Ee, plus AA or Aa means the horse is bay with varying abilities to pass on Agouti, Black, and Red.
I guess they do.. There is no reason that they wont move... They are not a lazy animal i suppose...
What jungle do zebras live in?
Most zebras inhabit open plains or brush country, while mountain zebras favor rocky hillsides. Zebra herds on the Serengeti of E Africa can be as large as 200,000 individuals, but all are organized in family groups led by a stallion. The plains zebras usually mix with other grazing animals, such as wildebeest and antelopes. They are swift runners, achieving speeds of up to 40 mph. Some authorities believe that the stripes evolved as visual identification to reinforce social bonds with other zebras, rather than for disguise or insect protection. The zebra's natural enemies are the lion and the leopard. The plains zebra, Equus burchelli, is found throughout Africa S of the Sahara.

Can you teach your zebra finch to talk?
Zebra Finches can't talk, but one of my Pied Zebra Finches make a call that imitates the sound of an alarm. My Zebra Finches do answer me, though. When I walk in the door and say "Hi" to them, they chirp back. Zebra Finches can make beautiful calls, so without tricks, these cute little birds put on a show...with their singing!
Thanks,
