Zebra Hartmann Mountain

Zebras are African equids best known for their distinctive white and black stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. They are generally social animals and can be seen in small harems to large herds. Zebras are generally 1.5m (5ft) at the shoulder, and weighs around 250-350kg (550-770lbs). Hartmanns Zebra have narrower stripes along their flanks with grid-iron patterns across the top of their rumps and their stripes continue down to their hooves, unlike the Burchells who have shadow stripes and largely unstriped legs. In addition to their stripes, zebras have erect, mohawk-like manes, unlike their closest relatives, horses and donkeys, zebras have not been truly domesticated.

The unique stripes and behaviors of zebras make these among the most familiar animals to people. They can be found in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills.
