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 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.What are the adaptations of the mountain zebra?

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.
zebras are warm blooded because were they live at night time is very but very cool so yes they are warm blooded
The name originally applied to a 'wild ass' now extinct and said to be Congolese. There is also a 15th Century reference in both the Italian and Portuguese languages brought to Europe by early explorers.

Where could one go to order a zebra print rug?
A dress with a zebra print pattern can be purchased from many different retail outlets. Retailers such as Macy's, Target, Boston Proper, and Nordstrom's carry dresses with this print. Christopher and Banks also carries dresses with a zebra print pattern.
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.
I wouldn't go up to it and pet it unless you know it is tame.
A female elephant is called a COW
The male a BULL
The young are Calves

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.
How do zebras relate to Africa?
Because there's a lot of running space and tall grass to eat for the Zebras. They enjoy those two things.
