10 Surprising Facts About Zebras
The zebra’s coat is mainly white and dotted with black or dark brown lines, but their skin is black underneath. Plains zebras, Grevy’s zebras, and mountain zebras are three separate species of zebra found on our planet, all of which are native to Africa.
Many people are familiar with them because of their recognisable stripes and the never-ending debate about whether they are black with white stripes or white with black stripes.

The Grevy’s zebra can now be found in Ethiopia and northern Kenya. There are three major types of zebra, but the Grévy’s zebra population has decreased by about 54 percent since the 1980s, when it was estimated to be 5,800. The current population is around 2,000. The population has declined dramatically over the years due to a variety of factors, including habitat loss, competition with other grazers, and, unfortunately, being hunted for their skins.
