Zebra

Zebras are social animals. They graze together and groom each other. The female zebra is a caring and protective animal.

Infant zebras [foals] are able to stand, walk and suckle shortly after birth and will continue to drink their mother’s milk in their early stages of life.

Zebras communicate with each other through various expressions including sniffing and balking, but also through the positioning of their ears and tails. They can turn their ears in almost any direction and harness this ability to communicate their mood e.g. pull backward when angry or standing erect when feeling calm and friendly.

Zebras can run up to 40mph[65km/h].they combine this fast running with excellent stamina as well as being able to run in a zigzag motion to evade predators that are chasing them.

Zebras can live up to 25 years and can weigh from 200 kg to 450 kg.
