Just like human fingerprints, a zebra’s stripe pattern is unique to the individual, according to Onekind.org.
Here are some other interesting facts about Zebras:
- Zebras are highly social, and will only go to sleep if they are close to neighbours so that they can be warned if a predator approaches. They also prefer to graze together and will groom each other.
- Zebras are brave animals that care deeply about their group members. When a group member is wounded by a predator attack, other zebras will come to its defence, circling the injured individual and attempting to drive the predator(s) away.
- Mother zebras are very caring and protective mothers. Infant zebras (foals) are able to stand, walk and suckle shortly after birth, and will continue to drink their mother’s milk for the first year of life.
- All zebras are close to their mothers, but males also form strong bonds with their fathers.
