Zebra

Zebras are recognized by their distinctive white and black stripes that are unique to each zebra. They live in lots of different habitats such as grasslands, savannas, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills. Just like horses (but slower) zebras can walk, trot, canter and gallop. Even though they're slower than horses they can still out run a predator by zig zagging from side to side to make it a bit harder for the predator to catch them. Zebras have amazing eyesight and some people even believe that they can see in colour. They communicate with each other with high pitched barks and whinnying. They eat mainly grasses but will also eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves and bark when they need to.
