ZEBRA Harem at the San Diego Zoo the best animals wildlife
Stripes Zebras are black or dark animals with white stripes and their bellies have a large white blotch for camouflage purposes. Zebras are described as black with white stripes rather than the reverse for the following three reasons:[3] 1. White equids would not survive well in the African
plains or forests. 2. The quagga, an extinct Plains zebra subspecies, had the zebra striping pattern in the front of the animal, but had a dark rump. 3. When the region between the pigmented bands becomes too wide, secondary stripes emerge, as if suppression was weakening. Some zoologists bel
ieve that the stripes act as a camouflage mechanism. This is accomplished in several ways. First, the vertical striping helps the zebra hide in grass. While seeming absurd at first glance considering that grass is neither white nor black, it is supposed to be effective against the zebra's main preda
tor, the lion, which is color blind. Theoretically a zebra standing still in tall grass may not be noticed at all by a lion. Additionally, since zebras are herd animals, the stripes may help to confuse predators - a number of zebras standing or moving close together may appear as one large animal, m
aking it more difficult for the lion to pick out any single zebra to attack.[4] A herd of zebras scattering to avoid a predator will also represent to that predator a confused mass of vertical stripes travelling in multiple directions making it difficult for the predator to track an individual visua
lly as it separates from its herdmates, although biologists have never observed lions appearing confused by zebra stripes. Stripes are also believed to play a role in sexual attractions, with slight variations of the pattern allowing the animals to distinguish between individuals. A more recent th
eory, supported by experiment, posits that the disruptive colouration is also an effective means of confusing the visual system of the blood-sucking tsetse fly.[5] Alternative theories include that the stripes coincide with fat patterning beneath the skin, serving as a thermoregulatory mechanism for
the zebra, and that wounds sustained disrupt the striping pattern to clearly indicate the fitness of the animal to potential mates. Harems Like most members of the horse family, zebras are highly sociable. Their social structure, however, depends on the species. Mountain zebras and Plains zebras
live in groups, known as 'harems', consisting of one stallion with up to six mares and their foals. Bachelor males either live alone or with groups of other bachelors until they are old enough to challenge a breeding stallion. When attacked by packs of hyenas or wild dogs, a zebra group will huddle
together with the foals in the middle while the stallion tries to ward them off. Unlike the other zebra species, Grevy's zebras do not have permanent social bonds. A group of these zebras rarely stays together for more than a few months. The foals stay with their mother, while the adult male lives
alone. However like the other two zebra species, bachelor male zebras will organize in groups. Like horses, zebras sleep standing up and only sleep when neighbors are around to warn them of predators. Reproduction Like most animal species, female zebras mature earlier than the males and a mare ma
y have her first foal by the age of three. Males are not able to breed until the age of five or six. Mares may give birth to one foal every twelve months. She nurses the foal for up to a year. Like horses, zebras are able to stand, walk and suckle shortly after they're born.
