Zebra Diets (In the Wild)

Very Adaptable grazers. They are able to eat both short young shoots and long flowering grasses. It is a pioneer in the grassland community, meaning it's the one to go into the tall grasses first and other animals will follow once they have trampled the grasses.

Zebra Behavior

Social system is based on a cluster of females led by one male. This is called a "Harem."

The newest female in the Harem is automatically assumed as the lowest social status.

Males will fight eachother for females to add to their Harem during the breeding season.

Foals are close to their mothers as well as their fathers and will stay with the Harem for 1 to 4 years before going off on their own.

Zebra Habitat

This is an African Savannah, and it is where Zebra's call home. They roam everywhere from the tree less grasslands, muddy watering holes, and open woodlands. Sometimes Zebra's will occur in tens of thousands of migratory herds on the Serengeti plains.
