ZEBRA:

Zebras (/zbr/ ZEB-r or /zibr/ ZEE-br)[1] are several species of Africanequids (horse family)
united by their distinctive black and white striped coats. Their stripes come in different patterns,
unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds.
Unlike their closest relatives, horses and donkeys, zebras have never been truly domesticated.

There are three species of zebras: the plains zebra, the Grvy's zebra and the mountain zebra. The
plains zebra and the mountain zebra belong to the subgenus Hippotigris, but Grvy's zebra is the
sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus. The latter resembles an ass, to which it is closely related,
while the former two are more horse-like. All three belong to the genus Equus, along with other living
equids.
