10 Fun Facts About Zebra’s

Did you know that …

Stripe Patterns Are Unique – Just like fingerprints, no two zebras have the same stripe pattern. Each zebra’s stripes are one of a kind!
Black or White? – Zebras actually have black skin underneath their fur, and their stripes are made of white and black hair.
Great Runners – Zebras can run up to 40 miles per hour, helping them escape predators in the wild.
Herd Animals – Zebras live in groups called herds, which help them stay safe from predators.
Loud Communicators – Zebras make barking, braying, and snorting sounds to communicate with each other.
Excellent Eyesight – Zebras have fantastic vision and can even see in the dark, making it easier to spot danger.
Grass Eaters – Zebras are herbivores, which means they eat mostly grass, but they’ll also munch on leaves and shrubs.
Sleep Standing Up – Zebras often sleep standing up so they can quickly run away if a predator approaches.
Stripes Help with Camouflage – A zebra’s stripes can make it harder for predators to single one out when they’re in a herd.
They’re Social – Zebras form strong bonds with each other, and they even groom their friends by nibbling on their fur to keep it clean.
