Zebras live in small herds of around 10 individuals in grasslands and woodlands of Africa. They have broad black and white stripes and stand around 3-4 feet tall. Zebras graze for most of the day and eat bark, leaves, fruits, and buds to fulfill their dietary needs. Their stripes are thought to help with camouflage and allow mothers to identify their foals. There are three main species of zebras that vary slightly in their stripe patterns.
