O equideo selvagem mais numeroso, as zebras-das-planices habitam pastagens e savanas do leste e sul da Africa em manadas que variam de pequenos grupos familiares a vastas agregacoes. Seus padroes de listras preto-e-brancas ousados sao unicos para cada individuo e podem servir para confundir predadores, deter insetos picadores e facilitar o reconhecimento individual. As zebras formam presa chave para leoes, hienas e crocodilos, sustentando as cadeias alimentares da savana.
