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.
