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.

Their distinctive black and white stripes have made them a favorite of children for many generations.

The name of a baby Zebra is called a foal. I was doing home work one day and we have to do theese question on whats the na,e of this baby animal and I was on this website and it did not say so I looked it up somewhere else and it said it so now I put it up on here =]
No. Mammals are divided into three infraclasses: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. A giraffe is a placental mammal. This means that the baby is born live, and that it is born developed enough that it will not have to immediately crawl onto the mother's nipple and attach itself. In fact, baby giraffes can walk seconds after being born.
A zorse is a hybrid between a horse and a zebra. There are very few of them in the world, because they are difficult to breed, sterile, and because most people don't have zebras in the backyard to mate with horses in an attempt to create a hybrid. You're honestly better off finding yourself a nice-looking horse, because even if you did manage to track down a zorse (and believe me, that's a very, very big and very illegal IF) you'd probably find it has inherited the intractable nature of the zebra -eta, you can't ride it.
