Zebras are distinctive black-and-white striped mammals native to Africa. They belong to the Equidae family, which also includes horses and donkeys. Each zebra has a unique pattern of stripes, much like human fingerprints, which helps them identify one another and provides camouflage in the wild. These social animals are often found in herds and are known for their strong bonds with family members. Zebras primarily graze on grasses and are known to migrate in search of food and water. Their stripes may also help deter predators by creating confusion during a chase.
