The zebra's black and white stripes make it one of the most identifiable animals.
Eastern and southern Africa's grasslands are home to the plains zebra, also known as the Burchell zebra.
Zebras' glossy coats disperse nearly 70% of heat, and stripes protect them from harsh solar radiation.
Disruptive colouring camouflages the body's contour with black and white streaks.
Zebra herds may look comparable, yet their stripe patterns are as unique as human fingerprints.
Scientists can identify zebras by analysing patterns, stripe lengths, colour, and scars.
Zebras are gregarious creatures that live in herds. They groom and graze on grass together.
