Zebras

((When visitors return from a trip to Akoma, they are eager to speak of the exotic striped patterns of the Zebras that they had seen. A breed apart from Horses and other ungulates, zebras are far more hot-tempered in their hooved cousins, is not wise to threaten or insult one.))
== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The typical zebra is a four-limbed, mammalian bipedal Feralian of large size. They have large ears, tufted tails, and highly-contrasting striped coats.
Like other equines, zebras have non-cloven hooves at the end of each foot, long limbs, and horizontal pupils. Aside from their distinctive pelts, zebras can also be distinguished from their cousins the horses and the donkeys by their more rounded ear shapes and longer tufts on their tails.
The standard fur color of zebras is a bright white or cream broken by irregular black stripes that run all over the body and through the dorsal mane and a black tipped muzzle, feet, and tail. These stripes may be either thin or broad, and some individuals also have less distinct grey stripes running between the main ones. This black can sometimes fade to a dark brown in individuals that spend a lot of time in the sun.
There are several unusual color patterns seen in zebras, including: 
*Abdunism: Where the stripes are unusually broad making the zebra appear more black than white, sometimes being solid black on the body.
*Broken Striped: Where the stripe patterns become more irregular than normal making the zebra appear spotted. 
*Erythryism: Where the zebra's stripes appear to be orange or red rather than black.
*Leucism: Where the zebra's stripes appear to be cream or a light tan rather than black.
*Sparse Striped: Where the zebra has stripes only along it's head and upper back, erthyrism, where the stripes appear red.
In all cases, these traits are rare and tend to run in families.
