Zebry

Zebra breeding
Estrus in the female begins in late spring - summer. During this period, she begins to spread her hind limbs and take her tail away in order to show her readiness for the breeding process.

Man can be considered the most terrible enemy for an animal, since many breeds of zebra disappeared precisely through his fault.

At these moments, a peaceful zebra becomes a fierce fighter and shows a strong character, temper and reasonable aggression.

The animal lives in herds, where the head is one male, next to which several females live. The head of the family is the main guarantor of peace and security for his mares and offspring. He fiercely defends his herd and sometimes enters into unequal battles with predators.

Gravy lives in the desert regions of Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia.

The Burchells live in the steppes and shrouds in the southeast of the continent: Ethiopia, South Africa, Angola, South Sudan, Mozambique.

Zebras are not as fast as horses, but if necessary they can reach speeds of up to 85 km/h. During the pursuit, the zebra begins to run in zigzags in order to confuse the enemy. This tactic makes the animal a difficult prey that many predators give up after a few minutes of chasing.

The legs are shorter and thicker than those of ordinary horses with large, reliable hooves, the head is heavy and large. The resemblance to a donkey lies in the long ears and tail with a tassel at the end (50 cm).
