'n Foto van 'n troppie sebras, springbokke en 'n gompou in die Etosha Nasionale Park, Namibië. A small group of zebra, springbuck and a kori bustard at Etosha National Park, Namibia. Sebrabevolkings in verskillende dele verskil baie: die mees algemene spesie is Equus quagga (voorheen Equus burchelli), die bontsebra (Plains Zebra). Hierdie spesie het vyf subspesies in suider- en oos-Afrika. Die mees bekende subspesie is die kwagga, Equus quagga quagga, wat reeds uitgesterf het. Die bergsebra (Equus zebra) van suid-wes Afrika het 'n slanker pels met 'n wit maag en nouer strepe as die bontsebra. Dit het twee subspesies wat bedreig word. Grevy se Sebra (Equus grevyi) is die grootste tipe sebra, met regop maanhare, en 'n lang, nou kop wat dit na 'n esel laat lyk. Hierdie sebras kom voor in die semi-bar grasvelde van Ethiopië, Somalië en noordelike Kenia. Grevy se Sebra word ook bedreig. Sebras word soms gekruisteël met ander lede van die perdfamilie. 'n Perd wat kruisgeteël is met 'n sebra word in Engels 'n zorse genoem, en 'n donkie-sebra kruisteling 'n zedonk. Zebras are African equids (horse family) best known for their distinctive black and white stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds. Unlike their closest relatives, horses and asses, zebras have never been truly domesticated. There are three species of zebras: the plains zebra, the Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra. The plains zebra and the mountain zebra belong to the subgenus Hippotigris, but Grevy's zebra is the sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus. The latter resembles an ass, to which it is closely related, while the former two are more horse-like. All three belong to the genus Equus, along with other living equids. The unique stripes of zebras make these among the animals most familiar to people. They occur in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal hills.
