Zebra: Striped Beauty of the Savannah

he zebra, with its distinctive black-and-white stripes, is one of the savannah’s most iconic inhabitants. Found across Africa’s grasslands and woodlands, zebras live in herds, relying on their social bonds for protection against predators. Their stripes, which are unique to each individual, serve as camouflage, confusing predators like lions and hyenas.

Zebras are herbivores, grazing on grasses and playing a vital role in shaping the savannah ecosystem by maintaining vegetation balance. Despite their resilience, zebras face threats from habitat encroachment and poaching. Conservation programs are crucial to safeguarding these beautiful animals and the habitats they call home.
