Zebras

Zebras are sort of like horses but always have the colors black and white.
They are not pet horses you can keep at home.

Food
Zebras are herbivores and usually eat a variety of grasses.
They are also known to eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves and dry bark.

Predators
Zebras are important prey for lions and hyenas, and to lesser extent as prey for hunting dogs, leopards and cheetahs.
When a family group is attacked,the members form a semicircle,face the preditors and watch it, ready to bite or strike should the attack continue.

Habitats 
Zebra habitat can include open plains, semi-desert, open woodlands, and even mountainous regions.
Zebras can survive in hot areas but still need water like any animal needs to.

Characteristics 
Zebras are easy to spot because of their white base coat and black stripes.
They sort of look like a horse but they have a tail with not as much hair as horses do.

Zebras are the kind of animal that always gets hunted and are very important to some species as it is a source of food.
