Meeting the Plains Zebra

Equus quagga

Statut de Conservation (Liste Rouge de l'UICN): Quasi menacée (NT)

No two are the same — every stripe pattern is unique.

Plains zebras live in family groups, grazing together, moving as one. They’re social, vocal, tightly bonded. A squeal, a kick, a glance — everything means something. They look calm, but they’re quick to react. Flight is always an option, but so is defiance. A zebra can kick hard enough to break a predator’s jaw.

They share the savanna with wildebeest and antelope, often forming mixed herds. Safety in numbers, ears in every direction. Black and white in a golden landscape — simple from far away, but full of detail up close.
