The African continent is home to an enormous amount of species, many of which are among the most majestic in the world. Whilst millions of animals inhabit the countries of Africa, human factors and habitat destruction have caused a severe impact on a notable amount of ecosystems, rendering a variety of species endangered or extinct.

4. The Crawshay's zebra (Equus
quagga crawshayi) is a plains zebra
subspecies that is native to parts of
Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, and
Mozambique. The lower incisors of
the Crawshay's zebra lack an
infundibulum, a feature that
distinguishes the subspecies from
other subspecies of the plains zebra.
It also has much narrower stripes
than the other subspecies.
5. Chapman's zebra (Equus
quagga chapmani) is a plains zebra
subspecies. These animals are native
to parts of the savannah region of
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola,
Botswana, and Namibia. These
subspecies have stripes resembling
the Burchell's zebra. The pastern of
this equid is not all black on the lower
half. The foals have brown stripes and
in some cases, adults retain their
brown stripes for life. These zebras
live in large herds of about tens of
thousands of individuals. The herds
are made of family groups and
bachelors. The former are called
harems and consist of a herd stallion,
1 to 6 females, and their offspring's.
6. The maneless zebra (Equus
quagga borensis) is the
northernmost plains zebra
subspecies that lives in eastern
Africa’s northern parts. The zebra
is found in Kenya, Uganda, and
Sudan. The Boma National Park
in South Sudan hosts a significant
population of the maneless zebra
7. The Selous' zebra (Equus
quagga selousi) is a plains
zebra subspecies that is found
in southeastern Africa.
Mozambique hosts a
significant population of the
zebra. The Selous' Zebra has
distinct black-and-white
banding that extends down the
flanks and covers the entire
body with the exception of the
neck and the face.
8. The Grant's zebra (Equus
quagga boehmi) is the smallest
subspecies of the plains zebra. The zebra
lives in parts of Zambia, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya,
Ethiopia, and Somalia. The zebras are
vertically striped in front. The stripes on
the back legs are horizontal and diagonal
on the hind flanks and rump. The stripes
of these zebras are well-defined and
broad. The zebras feed on the coarse
grasses of the plains. Due to the ongoing
civil war within the range of the Grant's
zebra, these animals have experienced a
dramatic decline in population. However,
this subspecies has a larger population
than other subspecies of zebra.
9. The plains zebra (Equus quagga) is
the most common and widespread
of zebra species. The range of these
zebras extends from the south of
Ethiopia to as far south as eastern
South Africa, as well as in
Botswana and eastwards through
East Africa. The plains zebra has
six extant subspecies as described
below.
10. Named after the British explorer and
naturalist William John Burchell, the
Burchell’s zebra (Equus
quagga burchellii) is one of six
species of plains zebra. The zebra
subspecies is named after William
John Burchell, a British explorer, and
naturalist. The zebra migrates the
longest distance among the terrestrial
animals in Africa. It travels about 160
miles one way from Namibia's Chobe
River to Botswana's Nxai Pan
National Park.
11. The Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra)
is found in the mountainous regions of South
Africa’s Eastern and Western Cape provinces. It
is the smallest and most geographically
restricted among all the zebra subspecies. The
Cape mountain zebra is classified as
"vulnerable" by the IUCN. The zebra subspecies
is stockier with a larger dewlap and longer ears
than the Hartmann's subspecies. The animals are
predominantly crepuscular (meaning active at
dusk) and diurnal (meaning active in the
daytime) in nature. The diet of the animals
consists mainly of grasses. Being a highly
selective feeder, it prefers greener leafy plants.
The population of the Cape mountain zebra has
significantly declined over the years due to
indiscriminate hunting and habitat destruction.
12. Hartmann's mountain zebra (Equus
zebra hartmannae) is a mountain zebra
subspecies living in western Namibia
and south-western Angola. These
zebras are well adapted to live in both
arid conditions and steep mountainous
terrain. They are agile climbers and
live in small groups of 7 to 12
individuals. The classification of the
Hartmann's mountain zebra as a
separate subspecies is not supported by
genetic evidence. Hence, the Mammal
Species of the World does not
recognize it as a subspecies as of 2005.
13. The mountain zebra (Equus zebra) is
one of the three species of zebra that
is native to south-western Angola,
South Africa, and Namibia. There are
two subspecies of this zebra; the
Cape mountain zebra, and the
Hartmann's mountain zebra.
However, a 2005 genetic study found
nothing to support this subspecies
classification of the zebra species.
These zebras live in hot, rocky,
mountainous, and dry habitats. They
prefer to live to live on plateaus and
slopes of up to 3,300 feet above sea
level.
14. The Grévy's zebra or the imperial zebra
(Equus grevyi) is the largest living wild
equid. It is also the most threatened species
of zebra. These zebras live in the semi-arid
grasslands of Kenya and Ethiopia. The
Grévy's zebra is named after Jules Grévy, a
President of the French Third Republic. This
species of zebra is taller than the other zebra
species and have larger ears and narrower
stripes. The animal feeds on legumes,
grasses, and browse, and can live for up to
five days without water. The Grévy's zebra is
classified as Endangered by the IUCN.
15.
16. The zebras main predators are lions and other
big cats, hyenas, wild dogs and man who hunt
them for their hides and flesh.
17. Zebra foals are born after an 11 to 12 month gestation period. The young zebra is able to stand shortly after
birth and able to walk within 15 minutes of birth and can run after only an hour.
Newborns have a mane down the back to the tail and are brown, black and white. Zebra foals begin to change
to adult colouration after 4 months. Although a foal may graze within a week of birth, they continue to suckle
for up to 16 months. The average infant mortality is about 50%, mostly due to predation by lions and spotted
hyena.
18. Zebras are generally 2.3 metres (8 feet) long, stand 1.25 – 1.5 metres (4 – 5
feet) at the shoulder and weigh around 300 kilograms (660 pounds), although
some can grow to more than 410 kilograms (900 pounds).
19. Zebras are very courageous animals and are not afraid to confront predators. Zebras also have a
powerful kick which can cause serious injury to a predator such as a lion, hyena or African wild
dog.
Zebras are gregarious animals who congregate in herds of up to 1000 individuals. They live in
family groups of between 5 – 20 individuals that consist of one stallion, a few mares and their
young ones. These basic family groups stay together even when they do congregate into large
herds. Zebras stay in these family groups for many years.
20. Burchell Zebras: It was thought that by 1910, no wild populations were left. In all in the world,
there are about 750,000 zebras. There are about 15,000 Burchell zebras in the world today. It
seems like not quite a lot of zebras. Also you have to remember that zebras were almost extinct at
a period of time. There were way less zebras during the 1900’s.
Mountain Zebra: The mountain zebra was nearly extinct in the 1930's. Now the estimated
population of the Mountains zebra is 700 zebras. Due to conservation efforts, they are no longer
close to extinction. There is a very scarce
amount of Mountain zebras in the world.
They are also very rare unlike the Burchell zebra. Grevys Zebra: The Grevy's Zebras are a little
scarce, because out of the 750,000 there are approximately only 2,500 of them now. Back in the
day, there were about 15,000 of them. Unfortunately, the number of them decayed over time.
Grevys zebras are also scarce like the Grevys zebras. They are also very rare to see. The Burchell
zebra is more popular and likely to be known.
