zebra
A zebra is a tall, herbivorous mammal native to Africa, known for its distinctive black and white striped coat. These stripes are unique to each individual, much like human fingerprints, and help with camouflage, social interaction, and temperature regulation. Zebras typically live in open plains or grasslands, where they graze on grasses and other plants. Social animals, they form close-knit groups called herds for protection against predators like lions. Zebras play an important role in their ecosystem and are admired for their striking appearance and complex social behaviors.
