No animal has a more distinctive coat than the zebra.


The stripes on a zebra's body are like fingerprints on a human's. No two ends are identical. Zebra is a specialty of Africa. Plains zebra of east, central, and southern Africa have stripes from leg to hoof or no stripes on legs.


East Africa also produces a form of zebra, the largest body, and long ears (about 20 cm). A southern African mountain zebra, it differs from the other two zebras in that it has large, long ears like those of a donkey. In addition to the abdomen, the whole body is densely covered with wider black stripes.


Zebras are herbivores. In addition to grass, shrubs, branches, leaves, and even bark are also their food. With a well-adapted digestive system, zebras can survive in low-nutrient conditions, giving them an edge over other herbivorous animals.


Zebras are more resistant to African diseases than horses.


Zebras evolved from proto-horses about 4 million years ago, and the earliest zebras may have been the fine-striped zebra. Fossils of prehistoric equids can be found at the National Museum of Stone Beds in Kwinker, Idaho.


Zebra's prehistoric horse for Equus simplicities. Its body is roughly the same as that of a zebra, with a short, narrow bone like a donkey and a body more like a fine-striped zebra.


There are three species of zebras and their subspecies. Zebra populations vary widely, and relationships between the taxonomic positions of several subspecies are well known. The most common species is Equus quagga, which is found in South and East Africa.


Six subspecies have been identified: E. q. burchellii, E. q. Chapman, E. q. crawshayi, E. q. forensic, E. q. boehmi, and the extinct E. q. quagga.


Zebras live in dry, open, heavily wooded grasslands and deserts.


Zebras are of the same species as horses. In ancient times, when their ancestors' generation evolved reproductive isolation, zebras evolved skin color to protect against foreign enemies. It is quite different from ordinary horses.


But the genes and the original ancestors are still the same species. Zebras are herbivores like horses, but they have a different skin color from other common horses, so sometimes it is difficult to be equated with common horses.


Ordinary horses can be tamed by humans to help carry them. But zebras are naturally small, so most of them are still wild zebras. Genetic and ancestral blood or with the common horse is inseparable, only some more special breeds.


Zebras live in the wild all year long and are immune to some wild diseases. Now research has found that zebras are immune to viruses when they live in the wild. Although horses are immune to some toxins, zebras are perfectly adapted to life in the wild.


It is completely immune to some wild infectious diseases. Zebras living in Africa are mostly immune to infectious diseases.


Moreover, zebra's digestive system has advantages compared with ordinary horses. It can digest bark and survive in the case of nutritional deficiency. Zebra's survival ability is still relatively tenacious and can survive in the wild.


Zebras are easily short-tempered. If the zebra is angry, it will attack the other zebra, and sometimes it will hurt the young zebra. Zebras are very timid and will run away at the slightest alarm, but this is all due to the innate survival instinct of living in the wild.


It's not that zebras haven't been tamed, they've been tamed very rarely, and that's because of their environment.
