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.

How do zebras maintain homeostasis?

there are 3 ways they maintain homeostatis:

some are behavioural changes

panting

shade seeking behaviour- to reduce radiation exposure

migration- to move to more suitable climates

curling up- reduce surface area to volume ratio

others include structual changes (you can not change this)

large size- for low surface to volume ratio

round shape/short extensions- low surface to area volume ratio

then you have physiological changes this is done by either the hormone (endocrine) system or nervous system

vasioconstriction- reduce blood flow to extemeties

shivering- increase metabolic heat produced

as you can see these adaptions are used to create a negative feedback.What this means is it is the oposite to the stimulas. For example if you get cold(stimulas) you may shiver which creates heat and warms your body( the opposite effect of being cold and thus the reverse to the stimulas)

How are horses and zebras similar?

Well, they are cousins. They both eat grass, they both have a single toe, or hoof, on each foot.

And zebras can be trained, ridden, and driven just like horses, but they are quite difficult to train.
