Grant's Zebra
Equus burchelli boehmi
Grant's zebras, also known as the Plains Zebras, are numerous throughout a
very wide area in Africa south of the Sahara. They inhabit savannas, plains, and
in some cases mountainous regions. Zebras are generally gregarious. Herds are
made up of family groups of one male and one to six females and their young.
Even where there are large numbers of zebras forming an apparently uniform herd
across the plain it is, in fact, made up of family groups, each retaining its
separate identity, with the bachelor groups also remaining distinct. The Grant’s
Zebras are not an endangered or threatened species; however the Grevy and
Mountain Zebras are very endangered because of loss of habitat and over hunting.
