Zebra
Few animals are as strongly synonymous with the African continent as zebras â the only wild members of the horse family south of the Sahara. There are three true species of zebra, the common and widely distributed plains zebra, the mountain zebra and Grevyâs zebra.
Zebras are exclusive grazers, favoring short coarse grasses. They are particularly fond of freshly sprouted grass on recently burnt ground and will move large distances in search of this fodder. They are dependent on drinking water.
Zebra live in small family groups, usually consisting of between four and eight, led by a single dominant stallion. The adult mares in a group are usually related. Once they are able to fend for themselves, male offspring are evicted from the herd by their father â the stallion. Once the mares reach sexual maturity, they too leave the harem, being lured away by other stallions.
Zebras frequently associate with antelopes, gazelles, giraffe and even ostrich, benefiting from the different anti-predator senses and reactions of these animals. Zebra feature commonly in the diet of lion and spotted hyena, with youngsters being particularly susceptible. Stallions are vigorous in defense of their harem, and capable of inflicting life-threatening kicks to lion and other predators.
