Wondrous Zebras

Zebras are very magical creatures. Zebras are 4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder. A Zebra’s length is between 7 to 9 feet. There are 3 kinds of Zebras. The Grevy’s Zebra, the Mountain Zebra and the Plains Zebra. Zebras look like a small horse with black and white stripes. They can weigh anywhere from 300-450 kilograms.

Zebras live in a beautiful place. Zebras live in Eastern and Southern Africa. Plains Zebras live in grasslands all around Africa. Mountain Zebras live in dry mountains in South Africa. Grevy’s Zebras live in grasslands in Northern Africa.

Zebras are very magnificent creatures even when they are babies. Foals can walk just 20 minutes after they are born. Zebras take care of their babies by staying and playing with them. They also love them. Foals are born the same way that babies are born by humans. Zebras protect their babies by keeping them close to them and feeding them.

Zebras have a fascinating way of surviving. An interesting fact about zebras is that the name “zebra” comes from the Portuguese word zevra which means “wild ass.” One thing that helps Zebras survive in the environment is that Zebras have good eyesight and hearing.

Zebras have good eating habits. They are herbivores. Zebras eat grass and leaves. Zebras eat with their mouths. They don’t catch their food.

Zebras are mind-blowing animals. None of the zebras are extinct, but 1 is endangered. That is the Grevy’s zebra. Environmental changes do not affect the zebra’s population.

Zebras are safe and protected by the law.
