Field Notes

Description:

The largest of the equids, it has a big head and neck that are supported by slender legs.

The stripes on its body are narrower than those of a plains zebra. The horizontal stripes on the legs remain distinct all the way down to the hooves, and the tall, upright mane is also striped in a pattern that continues on from the neck.

Other distinct characteristics are a tan-colored muzzle with white edges, and the large, rounded ears that have one thick black stripe on the back with white tips

Habitat:

Dry, semi-desert grasslands of Africa
