List of creatures named after zebras

The zebra is a popular animal in modern, English-speaking times. This is due to it being an exotic African safari animal as well as its unusual coloration. Many creatures are named after it to invoke the knowledge of a black and white striped animal in the reader and draw a connection between the two animals. Sometimes these creatures are more white with black stripes or more black with white stripes, but it doesn't seem to matter in naming practices.
