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 states is it illegal to have hedgehogs?

I am not sure what country you live in, because the laws differ from country to country. Some say it is illegal to have certain animals from the wild (.i.e. undomesticated) but most will allow you some animals (im presuming hedgehogs because they are very popular in some places)if you have a permit which you pay for. The reason for this is so authorities can monitor:

+who is keeping wild animals

+the conditions they are kept in (wild animals are treated differently to domesticated animals and require different foods etc)

+wild animals can spread diseases to humans and authorities need to watch this

+monitor animal species numbers (they need to know how many are in the wild/or how many are captive)

Examples of animals needing a licence permit in South Africa are the tortoise and marmoset monkey.

Female Zebra's mature earlier than Males and may even have their first foal when they are 3 years old. Males dont get an opportunity to breed until they are around 6 years old.

What impact have the rapid growth of Zebra Mussels had?

The zebra mussel is an invasive bivalve that has created large problems in the Great Lakes areas. Here is a partial list of the damage it inflicts: * They clog up pipes at factories, power plants, municipal water supplies, and wastewater treatment facilities. * They consume massive amounts of phytoplankton, the "foundation" of the Great Lakes food web. * Fewer phytoplankton means less zooplankton, which means less fish. * There is clearer water which helps sun penetrate more deeply, stimulating growth of large-leafed underwater plants and algae. * High densities can sink buoys, degrade docks, and damage boat engines.

The zebra mussel is a native of Russia. The species arrived in North America via ships that make their way over from the Black and the Caspian Seas carrying them (or, more probably, their free-swimming forms) aboard in tanks and bilges. These critters are not deadly to man, but they impose an extremely expensive problem on society by virtue of the damage they do as cited above. And the damage continues.
