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.

Zebras make many sounds:

  • Bark--Unlike the "neigh" of horses, zebras use a high-pitched yip or bark which sounds somewhat like a dog.

Why do zebras have stripes and not horses?

the stripes on the zebra are their urvival strategy. main predator for the zebra are the big cats in Africa like lions. these predators only see in black and white. also zebras are social animals who live in herds. also since they live in Africa where there are open grass lands there are no places to hide. the black and white stripes on the zebras in their peculiar pattern confuses the predators and make it difficult for them to single out individual animal. horses on the other hand are mostly domesticated or atleast have a lot of influence of man in their evolution. having a camouflage strategy makes no sense to them and they rely purly on their speed and endurance for their survival and need no stripes
