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.

Are zebras better than pandas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If we contrast horses with Giant Pandas the examination reveals that Giant Pandas are much better at eating bamboo than are horses. Horses are better at running than Giant Pandas. Horses are better for petting than a Giant Panda because they have been domesticated. Pandas are better than horses for consistency of color and pattern. Horses are better than Pandas because they come in a LOT more colors. Horses are better than Pandas because there are more of them.
Pandas are better than horses because they are rare and that makes them unique. Both animals are better in their own way. More specific criteria would make a determination of which was "better" would be helpful.

What color is a zebra's skin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The actual skin beneath the fur of a zebra varies between animals, some may have all pink skin like ours, while others will have black, brown or white patches. The fur is a separate entity all together from the skin. This is quite common in equine species. growing up we had a registered appaloosa that was completely white (they are supposed to have spots), and she did, but they were on her skin, not in her fur. a zebras stripes are like a finger print, no two zebra have the same pattern, and their skin is much the same way. Its all in the genetics.

A zebra eats 10kg of grass How much of the energy contained originally in the grass usable by the loin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lions don't eat grass, so the question isn't applicable. Besides, this is just like the question asked about a cow eating so much grass and then asking how much of the energy from the grass can be usable by humans? It's immeasurable because food gets converted into energy in different ways for different animals, and to think that cutting out the middle-man would help bridge the gap between the energy lost is one that doesn't truly understand how it all really works. Humans aren't built nor meant to eat grass, nor are lions.
