The zebra is a white and black striped mammal smaller in size than the horse. They have a short, spiked mane, large ears, and a tufted tail. The stripes, which distinguish the zebra from other members of the horse family, serve as protective coloration in its natural habitat. There are three species and several subspecies of zebras. They differ mainly by variations in the arrangement of the stripes.
All zebras are native to Africa.
