I just saw some zebras on tv and they are such unique looking animals.. 
Zebras are actually several different species of Africa equids and they are grouped together by their black and white striped coating.
It's interesting that their stripes are all in different patterns, each one is unique.
I know! That is fascinating! They also are very social and live in harems which is similar to large herds even though their harems are smaller in size.
A couple kinds are endangered due to hunting for their skins and habitat destruction by companies.
Awww that is so sad! Unlike horses and donkeys, zebras have never been domesticated. 
The word is different too , and it's not for sure where it came from, maybe Latin.
I was surprised to see that there are three different species of zebras which include the plains, the mountain and the Grevy's zebra. I think they are beautiful animals!
The striping is supposed help them hide in the grass by disrupting its outline,
Nature is so cool! The stripes are also what make them so recognizable to us as human beings.
