The Cape Mountain Zebra is a unique subspecies of zebra found primarily in the mountainous regions of South Africa. It is characterized by its distinctive narrow stripes, which are closer together than those of other zebra species. These stripes help with camouflage in their natural habitat, which includes rocky slopes and grasslands. Cape Mountain Zebras are smaller than their plains counterparts and have a stockier build. They primarily feed on grasses and are known for their social behavior, often living in small herds. Conservation efforts have been crucial for their survival, as they were once on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss and hunting.
