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 many offspring may a zorse have?
A zorse, also called a "zebrula" is the offspring of a coupling between a zebra stallion and a horse mare; when a horse stallion and zebra mare mate, their offspring is called a hebra. Any creature that has zebra ancestry is also referred to under the general heading of a "zebroid". Zorses are real having been bred on purpose to test cross-species mating ability among equines since the early 20th century. As such, they are not true crpytids. Some zoos around the world continue to feature these animals.
As is the case with such hybrids, a zorse is infertile and therefore has no offspring.
What is the zebras biggest danger?
Zebras face many dangers. The first dangers are predators. These include lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs. They also are losing grazing land to farmers and ranchers, who cause them to travel longer distances all while being hunted by predators. They also are hunted for their meat and hides. There are three types of zebras: the common zebra, the Grevy's zebra, and the mountain zebra. The last two are endangered.

What are zebras defense mechanisms?
zebras defenses are really limited because they dont have many. in this case, if your talking about a lion well, lions see in black and white. and zebras are black and white! it confuses the lion where the zebra is because everything to them is black and white. if the predator gets close to the zebra, well, the zebra uses it's hind legs to kick them. sometimes they kick so hard, it kills the predator. but really, the main defense of a zebra is to run.
zebras are sacred of things that are running toward them. Like they are scared of the lions because they run toward them so the zebra starts to run.
A zebra often will have only one foal per year, rarely two per year.
Zebras act as the "middle man," for consuming grasses (which are producers) which depend on such animals for their survival, and for acting as a food source for top-level consumers like lions, hyenas and leopards, which also depend on this animal--among other like herbivorous animals--for their survival and sustainability.
The relative speed is 10 mph; based on this, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed. If distances are in miles, and speeds in mph, the time will obviously be in hours.
