Where do zebras live?

While there are a few zebras living in zoos around the world, they are only found in the wild in one continent- Africa. Plains zebras, which live in grassland, live all around Africa. Mountain zebras, which (as the name suggests) live in mountainous regions, live in dry southern African countries- Angola, Namibia and South Africa. Grevy’s zebras, which live in shrubland and grassland, live in Northern African countries- Kenya and Ethiopia.

Interesting things about zebras

• Zebras eat a lot of grass. They graze throughout the day.
• The average height of a fully grown zebra is 1.25-1.5 meters (4-5 feet).
• Grevy’s zebras and Mountain zebras are both listed as endangered species. There are very few of them left as they have nearly been hunted to extinction.
