The zebra is a medium-sized hoofed animal known for its striking coat pattern, which consists of stripes in black and white. These stripe patterns are unique to each species of zebra and likely serve as camouflage against predators as well as a means of thermal regulation.

The zebra belongs to the horse family and is native to Africa. It often lives in large herds on the open savannas and grasslands. The zebra is a herbivore and mainly feeds on grasses and herbs. It also has a strong social structure within its herd and communicates with others through various sounds and body postures. The zebra is a symbol of the African wilderness and is often protected in nature reserves and national parks.
