This Hartmann's zebra and her foal are natives of the African savanna, or grassy plains. Zebras are social animals, living in small family groups within a larger herd. Their distinctive stripes provide protection against their main predator, lions, by making it difficult for a lion to find a specific zebra within the herd. And to answer that age old question: if you were to shave a zebra, you would actually have a black animal!
