The common zebra, also known as the plains zebra, is a species of zebra that is native to eastern and southern Africa. They are known for their distinctive black and white stripes, which are unique to each individual. Common zebras live in various habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and woodlands, and can often be found in large herds.
They are herbivorous animals, primarily feeding on grass and other vegetation. These zebras are important to their ecosystems as they play a key role in the food chain, serving as prey for predators such as lions and hyenas.

Just like human fingerprints, no two zebras have exactly the same stripe pattern! It's like their own personal barcode.
Zebras are surprisingly fast, reaching speeds of up to 40 miles per hour (64 km/h)! This agility helps them outrun predators
Zebras can catch some shut-eye even on their feet! Their special joints allow them to lock their legs in place, enabling them to doze off quickly and wake up ready to run if danger approaches.
There are three different zebra species: the plains zebra, the mountain zebra, and the Grévy's zebra. The Grévy's is the largest, while the mountain zebra is the smallest.
Don't be fooled by their calm appearance! Zebras use a variety of vocalizations to communicate, including barks, snorts, whinnies, and even sounds similar to pig squeals!
While the exact reason for their stripes is still debated, one theory suggests they might help with camouflage. The contrasting patterns might confuse predators, making it difficult to single out an individual zebra in a herd.
Zebras are generally social creatures, living in groups called dazzles. These dazzles can range in size from a few individuals to hundreds!
