Plains zebra

The Plains zebra is a common species of zebra found primarily in the savannas and grasslands of southern and eastern Africa. Recognized for its distinctive black-and-white stripes, each zebra has a unique pattern, much like human fingerprints. They live in herds for social interaction and protection from predators. These zebras primarily graze on grasses and are known for their strong social bonds. Plains zebras play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain grassland health through their grazing habits. Their conservation status is currently not endangered, but they face threats from habitat loss and hunting.
