Z is for Zebra

I have two questions for you:

1. Are zebras horses?
2. Are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

I also have the answers:

1. Yes, they're African equids (i.e., horses, donkeys, and zebras).
2. Black with white stripes.

Other interesting facts:

• Three types of zebras exist.
• Zebras are herd animals.
• Zebra stripes are a form of camouflage and, when standing in a group of other zebras, one zebra is hard for predators to identify.
• No two zebras have the same stripe pattern--each pattern is like a unique fingerprint.

My sister went on safari in Africa and actually saw several herds. Neat animals.

Z end. Thanks for visiting me during the A to Z Blogging Challenge!
