Their striking appearance, adorned with bold black and white stripes, sets them apart from other animals in the savannas and grasslands. These majestic creatures have long been admired for their elegance and grace as they roam the open plains.

The matriarchal structure of female zebra groups ensures a harmonious and organized society, prioritizing the safety of the herd.
