The zebra snake, also known as the zebra-striped snake, is a non-venomous species found primarily in parts of Africa. It is recognized for its distinctive black and white stripes, which resemble the pattern of a zebra. This coloration serves as camouflage in its natural habitat, helping it evade predators. Zebra snakes typically inhabit grasslands and savannas, where they hunt small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They are known for their agility and speed, making them effective hunters. These snakes can grow to a moderate length, usually ranging from 3 to 5 feet, and are often kept in captivity due to their striking appearance.
