Field Notes
Description:
I took this picture at Smithsonian national zoo in Washington DC. This picture was one of those Grevy's zebra. These zebra's can grow up to nine feet long, weigh up to 990 pounds, and stand up to almost five and a half feet at the shoulder.
Habitat:
Grevy's zebras inhabit semi-desert areas, including arid grasslands and dusty acacia savannas. The most suitable areas have water year-round.
Notes:
The Grevy's zebra is the largest wild member of the horse family. Each zebra has its own unique set of stripes, which are as distinctive as fingerprints.
