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 do zebras do to get away from a lion?
Camouflage (black and white stripes)
Speed, they can run fast when they need to
They are herd animals, grazing in a herd offers protection
Zebras stay together in a herd to have a smaller chance of getting attacked by predators like hyenas, lions, and leopards. A zebra herd usually has between 5 and 20 animals. Scientists think that the zebras stripes make a blur for predators so it will be harder for them to pick out a zebra to attack. This only works when there are a lot of zebras together. The stripes also make a zebra look bigger. There is a lot of danger for zebras. When crossing a river zebras have to watch out for alligators. Zebras do not have a defense against alligators. They just have to keep moving so they can get out of the river faster. Zebras have flexible ears. They can move them in all directions so they can hear things all around them. This is another way to avoid and escape from predators. Zebras also have a good sense of smell, good eyesight, and excellent hearing. All these senses help them to avoid predators.

When there are fewer zebras than usual explain how does this affect the population of lions?
This is an example of a predator prey relationship. They depend on each other. Without one, both one die. If the Zebra population decreases, then the lion population will decrease a bit, but not much because there are other animals for lions to eat.
Do zebras attack a lot of people?
It depends. Some zebras have been trained for riding, and they can be as nice as horses, but the ones that you will find in zoos aren't used to hanging out with people as much, and they can bite... just like wild horses. Some breeds of zebras people say are more skittish and/or mean than horses, but other breeds people have said are very good natured.

How can a quagga be recreated?
People will recreate the Quagga by taking zebras that naturally look like Quaggas and breeding them with other zebras that look like Quaggas and eventually they should have a whole herd that looks like the Quagga.
There is heaps of maths in horse riding.
For example in show jumping you use Pythagoras theorem to find the most effective take off point. To do this the angle must be 45 degrees, and the distance of take off should be the height of the fence. If you get what i mean.
In sporting you can do things like distance between posts, the degrees the horse bends to get around them and the distance to keep from the poles.
In racing you can do stuff about betting, area of the track, speed of the horse, average stride in between the posts of 100m.
There is sooo muc maths if you think about it. :)
I really hope this helped.
