HABITAT
Zebra occurs where mountains and lowlands meet, using the two areas according to the availability of food. They are dependent on water. If surface water dries up, it will dig for it.
HABITS
Zebra graze mostly in the early morning and late afternoon, resting in the shade during the midday heat. Dust bathes regularly. The basic social unit is the family group, consisting of one stallion and the mares with their young. This unit stays together, even when they congregate in bigger groups. At this stage, the stallion will spend the greater part of his time, chasing away other stallions from other family groups. They extremely courageous animals, and, very often, they confront predators, like Lion, the latter sometimes coming out second best, after receiving a devastating kick from the Zebra's hooves.
