Zebra

overview

Zebras are herbivores known for their striking black-and-white striped coats. Found across the grasslands and savannahs of Africa, they are highly social animals, living in herds for protection and companionship. They are able to run at speeds up to 65 km/hr and react quickly to danger due to their acute sense of sight, hearing and smell.
