plains zebra

La cebra de las llanuras, el equido salvaje mas numeroso, habita pastizales y sabanas del este y sur de Africa en manadas que van desde pequenos grupos familiares hasta vastas agregaciones. Sus llamativos patrones de rayas en blanco y negro son unicos para cada individuo y pueden servir para confundir a los depredadores, disuadir a los insectos picadores y facilitar el reconocimiento individual. Las cebras son una presa clave para leones, hienas y cocodrilos, sustentando las redes alimentarias de la sabana.
