Zebra are sociable animals. They live in family
groups from 3-20. The herd is protected by the stallion. Often associated
with Wildebeest Zebra like open
plains as well as mountainous areas where grass is more palatable.
Stallions fight very fiercely over females and territory. Zebra are grazers
and dependent on water. They like to roll in sand or dust. Gestation is about
12 months.
The Zebra in the second picture has a red-billed oxpecker on its back. This bird follows african animals and cleans the parasites, mainly ticks, off them. The oxpecker climbs all over the animals, even into ears and under tails, to pull off the ticks. The animals do not mind the birds crawling over them.
