The zebra's life span is about 28 years. Zebras are closely related to horses and donkeys .
Zebras are very social animals and live in large, stable family groups which are led by females.
Families will sometimes merge to form large herds. Zebra fur has distinctive white stripes on a black background. No two zebras have the same pattern. These stripes may help to confuse predators chasing the zebra, making them misjudge distances. Zebras have hoofed feet.
