Introduction to zebra:

Zebra, a mammal belonging to the genus Chiroptera, can be divided into three subspecies according to its size and body pattern, namely, zebra with fine stripes, zebra with mountain stripes and zebra with common stripes. The zebra with fine lines is the largest and most beautiful in shape, with slightly round and wide ears, many and thin stripes on the buttocks, and the stripes on the side of the body can not reach the ventral surface;

Zebras are small, with light yellow hair, black stripes on their bodies, wide stripes on their arms and abdomen, and the side stripes can't reach the abdomen, so their hair is hard. Ordinary zebras have short ears, some are brown, or all have black stripes, or their backs have no stripes at all. There are light and narrow stripes between the thick stripes on the back, and the side stripes extend below the abdomen.

Zebras are native to eastern, southern and southwestern Africa, and mainly inhabit tropical and subtropical forests and grasslands. Zebras are social animals, usually dozens or hundreds of them move in groups and go to ponds or streams to drink water in the morning and evening.
