Grevy's zebras
Body length 118.1 in (300 cm); shoulder height 63 in (160 cm); weight 990 lb (450 kg).
Is the largest wild equid; a medium-sized, long-legged, hoofed ungulate with large rounded ears and a short coat that is striped black and white.
The belly is white and the mane is erect and striped.
The muzzle is white with gray between and around the nostrils and on the lips.
There is a dark stripe with white margins down the back.
Currently found in low density in Kenya from the Laikipia Plateau to the Ethiopian border.
They are also found in southern Ethiopia in the Chalbi and Borana reserves.
The northernmost population is found in the Alledeghi Wildlife Reserve of Ethiopia.
A small population may persist in southeastern Sudan.
Live in arid and semiarid grasslands. They need to have access to water.
Lactating females need access to water every one to two days.
Has a territorial mating system; territorial males dominate on large resource territories, usually in the vicinity of permanent water sources.
Lactating females with young foals (less than three months of age) tend to stay on these territories for daily access to water.
Thus, when they come into postpartum estrus, the territorial male has better access to reproductive females.
Live in small temporary groups and the only stable social group is composed of a female and her offspring.
In temporary groups, the sex and age-group structure varies from single-sex adult groups to mixed groups of males and females of all ages.
Adult males typically are solitary, but on occasion associate with other males.
Feed primarily on available grasses, but will also utilize browse during drought periods.
