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.

Are black and white striped spiders in Northern Michigan poisonous?
No. I live in Michigan and its most likely a jumping (Zebra) spider or a parsons spider. The only two poisonous spiders we have to worry about are the Northern Black Widow and the (rare) Brown Recluse.
If you're referring to the stripes then the advantage comes when the zebra is part of a herd. Since the lions see in black and white, when the zebra is in a herd it's hard to know where one animal begins and the other ends. Thus lions for example can't pick out a target.
Anything in the classification of equine is a relative of the zebra. All breeds of horses, donkeys, mules, and wild asses are included in this family tree.

Zebras are unique because of their contrasting black and white stripes. Many animals have stripes, but the pattern of a zebra's stripes is instantly recognizable.
Why is it difficult to classify the zorse?
Zebras and Horses are two different species. So when offspring is produced from a zebra and a horse it produces a cross-breed or hybrid. Hybrids are infertile and are hard to classify. They are hard to classify because they are both horse and zebra so it is hard to decide which species to classify them as.
Does a tiger also have orange skin as well as black stripes on their skin?
No because some tabby cats have stripes on them
yes they do. it is so they can blend in with their surroundings.
Where do Savannah zebras live?
Zebras are a particular species of the horse. They tend to live in dry, rocky and flat areas such as the plains which sums up our answer being no. Zebras do not live in Madagascar and have not been found in that area at all. Zebras cannot live and do not like the much denser air of the jungles and would be unable to find any of their main foods that are found in the plains of Africa.
Are Zebra's born with stripes?
No, zebra stripes are not natural.
A zookeeper, or farmer, comes along in the zebra's childhood and paints them on with a paintbrush and blue painters tape.
They are naturally white underneath.
What kind of grass does a zebra eat?
I would imagine that a zebra will eat most types of grass, although like most animals it probably has several favorites.
It can be done, and is done, however. From the reading I've been doing, it is possible, although very difficult, to train a zebra to be ridden or to pull carriages, and in fact, there are real zebras being ridden in the movie "Racing Stripes."
I suspect the difference between the ability to train horses and to train zebras can be at least in part explained away by the fact that horses were first trained several thousand years ago. Over time, humans bred horses for docility, most likely by eating the animals which proved harder to train. We did the same thing with cattle. Humans in sub-Saharan Africa never seemed to domesticate the animals at their disposal, however, (with the possible exception of guinnea fowl) and so, the zebra was left in its wild state.
I would imagine, but do not know, that if the horse had never been domesticated, wild horses would be almost as hard to train as would a zebra. Certainly, dogs, which have been domesticated from wolves for over 10,000 years are, in personality, wolves always stuck in their juvenile phase. I imagine lots of wolf cubs were eaten on the way to develop the modern domestic canid. Dogs (or wolves) which were more dog like were kept for breeding future generations, and over time, their personalities changed to the dogs we have now.
And, even the horses now considered "wild" are really feral domestic horses, except for a few isolated groups mainly in Asia, which I understand are about as resistant to training as zebras.
I recall reading about an American Bison who became inordinately fond of his owners as he was being raised, to the point of allowing himself to be ridden when grown. He was actually featured being ridden on television commercials. In the history of domestication, an animal like him would have been bred many times to secure the "amenable" traits he displayed.
I also read a reference to the now ex-Soviets training moose to saddle and yoke, saying they were more stable around aircraft than horses. And we all know that Santa has trained reindeer to pull his sleigh, although how he's bred them to fly is beyond me.
How many eggs to zebra finches lay in a year?
The Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is a native of Australia and can also be found in Indonesia and East Timor. It is a popular pet in the United States. The average clutch has 2 - 7 eggs. They can have 3-4 clutches per year, so that would be a maximum of 28 eggs per year. However, if you only have a female, and she starts laying eggs on her own, and she doesn't go broody, she could lay as many as 100 eggs in a year. This is not a normal occurrance, however.
. Though there are numerous predators in the Savannah like Cheetahs, Hyenas, Leopards etc, the Lion is the only predator that can bring down/kill a full grown adult Zebra. Because of their size, they are too big to be attacked by smaller predators like Cheetahs and Hyenas. However, Zebra foals are an inviting prey for these smaller predators like Cheetahs. A significant % of Zebra foals fall prey to these predators every year
How do the lions adapt to their environment?
Many animals, such as reptiles, hide under rocks or in mud. Most animals, such as humans, sweat.

What are some physical characteristics of a zebra?
One of the physical characteristics of the zebra is it's teeth. The teeth of the zebra have no trouble at all when grinding and chopping grass.
YES
a zebra can be yellow if you want it to be. it can also be black, white, blue, brown, orange, silver, gray, teal, aqua, purple, violet, tan, clear, pink, blonde, or green. but not red because red is the color of blood and blood is gross.
What is the government doing to stop zebra mussels?
You can prevent the spread of zebra mussels to other waters by checking your boat and trailer. Any water in the bilges or live wells should be drained before leaving the lake. Mud attached to anchors or ropes should be removed, as should any vegetation on boats or trailers.
sadly, this is true....... some humans in the past hunted cheetahs for their fur and claws. the cheetahs ability to run made the humans take days to capture even a cheetah young! but as days go past the cheetah is more safe, this is because, we are getting too lazy to outrun them, but when you come to think of it....... its a good thing people are to lazy to hunt a cheetah!
hope my answer helped! :)
How long after birth does it take a zebra to walk?
It more about motor skills that walking.
I was walking (and talking) at a little over 6 months (somewhat unbelievable, but I'm assured by my family). My aunt on the other hand spent many many years shuffling around on her bum quite happily. I have no problems with my joints of bones (as the health visitors said I could well have, I am Autistic spectrum though but to me it's more of a gift than a curse), my aunt had absolutely no problems walking when she actually needed to (she is not autistic spectrum).
When they are ready!I was really starting to get concerned about my 13 month old because he was showing no interest what so ever. He won't even pull himself up to stand, or walk with assistance. After researching my concern a little, I found the profound range of age that children walk is anywhere from 6months to 18 months. After that, you may want to ask a doctor. My little brothers walked at 6 and 8 months, respectively. My sister's girls all walked between 6 and 9 months. My three did not walk until 12 months, well, and the one that still is not walking! 6 months does sound bizarre, but I remember it happening with both my brothers and my niece. It really doeshappen quite frequently! Ultimately, each child developes at their own pace, and pushing them to move more quickly than they are ready to may end up having a reverse affect, and slow the process.
