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.

What animal has striped skin as well a striped fur?
Tigers and zebras both have stripes, as well as some house cats.
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,

Zebras roam in herds and protect themselves against predators with sheer numbers. They also kick and bite like horses.
What colour are the stripes of a zebra?

How do zebras adapt to living in the hot weather?
They have fine hairs on their body, and the larger parts of their body help to get out the heat. Their stripes also let them blend in with the grass and they often stand in the shade. And just being in the hot weather, they get used to it. They probably have a water storage or slow-release system which allows them to stay hydrated but not drink water all of the time.
During the evolution of the horse they started out as small foxed sized browsers with four toes and lived in forests. As the earth changed and gave way to coarse grass and open plains the horse began to change into a faster single toed mono-gastric animal. The hoof allowed the horse to move much more quickly to escape predators.
How can you tell if Zebra Finches eggs are fertilized?
As with any bird's egg you can use a technique called "candling". All you need to do is hold the egg over a bright light such as a flashlight. If the egg is more than three days old and is is fertilised you will see a dark spot inside and a criscrossed lattice of blood vessels just inside the shell. When the fertilised egg is about eight days old you may even be able to see the embryonic chick wriggling and kicking inside and if you are very lucky the heart may be seen beating. This technique does not harm the egg in any way.

"African" is not a language. Africa is a continent that contains 54 countries and more than 2100 completely different languages. Some estimates place the number of languages at around 3000.
If you have any quesitons about African languages, you will have to specify the language.
The most prominent languages spoken in Africa are:
Afrikaans
Amharic
Arabic
English
French
Fula
Hausa
Igbo
Oroma
Somali
Swahili
Yoruba

Zebras travel in large groups however they are mostly family members and not parts of other groups. They stay in groups to blend into one another.
Any equine will eat about 2.5% of it's own body weight in forage daily.
You would get a zape, of course! Who wouldn't know that!
