Care & Wellness:

The three acre habitat for zebra, ostrich, and giraffe provides ample space to allow the zebra to graze all year.  As a mixed species habitat, the zebra interact with the ostrich and giraffe just as they would in the wild.

Behavior:
  • Even in large gatherings of zebra, smaller family groups of a male (stallion), several females, and their young offspring remain intact.
  • Zebras will fight if needed, using kicks and powerful bites.
  • They are capable of running at speeds up to 40 MPH.
Endangered Status
  • Extinct in Wild
  • Critically Endangered
  • Endangered
  • Vulnerable
  • Near Threatened
  • Least Concern
  • Not Evaluated
Fun Facts:
  • Sharp upper and lower incisors help them cut and eat grasses other grazers cannot.
  • Zebra have only one toe on each foot, resulting in greater speed and agility.
  • Young males leave the herd at two or three-years-old and form bachelor herds.
