Where Do Zebras Live
By: Want To Know It
Zebras are very social animals that are often spotted in the wild in large herds. But where do zebras live? This post aims to answer that question and also tell you some other interesting things about zebras.
Where do zebras live?
While there are a few zebras living in zoos around the world, they are only found in the wild in one continent- Africa. Plains zebras, which live in grassland, live all around Africa. Mountain zebras, which (as the name suggests) live in mountainous regions, live in dry southern African countries- Angola, Namibia and South Africa. Grevy’s zebras, which live in shrubland and grassland, live in Northern African countries- Kenya and Ethiopia.
Interesting things about zebras
- Zebras eat a lot of grass. They graze throughout the day.
- The average height of a fully grown zebra is 1.25-1.5 meters (4-5 feet).
- Grevy’s zebras and Mountain zebras are both listed as endangered species. There are very few of them left as they have nearly been hunted to extinction.
- Zebras have amazing eyesight, smell and hearing. All these help them recognize when predators and coming to find them.
- Zebras have very long jaws which allow them to hold a lot of food in their mouths!
