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.

Is there another name for a zebra shark?
The zebra shark, Stegostoma fasciatum (or varium), is a species of carpet shark and the sole member of the family Stegostomatidae. It is found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, frequenting coral reefs and sandy flats to a depth of 62 m (210 ft). Adult zebra sharks are distinctive in appearance, with five longitudinal ridges on a cylindrical body, a low caudal fin comprising nearly half the total length, and a pattern of dark spots on a pale background. Young zebra sharks under 50-90 cm (20-35 in) long have a completely different pattern, consisting of light vertical stripes on a brown background, and lack the ridges. This species attains a length of 2.5 m (8.2 ft). (Wikipedia)

How does an okapi protect itself?
Large ears to detect the movement of predators, such as leopards. Also the patterning on the legs, similar to a zebra's, has a confusing effect from behind when large groups run together. The predator finds it hard to distinguish one okapi from another - thus making it harder to single out and hunt one (unless one is much weaker/younger/injured making it lag behind the others). They also have quite a good kick - but not powerful enough to cause any real damage - only to deter the predator.
How are zebras adapted to their environment?
The zebra has adapted to its environment in a few ways. First, it developed special teeth to chew the tough grass on the savannah.
Then, they developed stripes to help them blend in with the tall grasses so that predators don't see them well.
this second answer is wrong. stripes are not for that. black + white still wouldn't blend in. scientists don't know why they have stripes.
Do zebras have a black body with white stripes or a white body with black stripes?
It is believed that zebras are black animals with white detail for three main reasons. The first is that white equids would not be able to survive well in the plains or forests of Africa. Secondly, the extinct species of plain zebra, known as the Quagga, had the white stripes of zebras today on the front of their bodies, but a dark coloured rump. The third reason is based on the Shadow stripes. When the pigmented white band becomes to wide, a secondary stripe starts to emerge. The idea that some zebras have white under bellies and legs is not thought to be evidence of an overall light colour, since many animals of different colours have white or lighter coloured bellies and legs.
Trick question a zebra isn't a horse at all but it is black with white stripes even though it has a white belly.

The zebra is one of the oldest members of the horse family of equines. Zebras are actually black with whte stripes. This is because the fur is black and the white is where pigmentation is simply lacking.
because people eat them and use their skin to sell and make money . selfish people
