Their exhibit will be expanding in the future to include elephants, birds, and other hoofstock. Physical Characteristics Grant's Zebras are about 53 inches in height and weigh between 500 to 700 pounds. They are distinguished from other plains zebras by the presence of stripes on their legs all the way to their hooves. Behavior Plains zebras live in stable family groups of up to 17 individuals led by a single stallion. Mares stay with the group after birth.
Females establish a dominance hierarchy.
When traveling, the group is led by the dominant female. The stallion is always in the rear when the group flees from a predator. The family group never leaves any of the old or weak members behind. Diet Zebras are grazers, so they eat a variety of grasses in the wild. In the zoo they eat hay and herbivore chow with fruit and alfalfa as occasional treats.
