Imagine you have been on a safari adventure, driving for hours and have seen nothing. Then off to your left you see something black and white. Wondering what is is? It’s a herd of zebras, grazing out in the open grasslands of East Africa. The zebra can be found in East Africa, and has black and white stripes know on them as camouflage, and is an herbivore which means it eats plants, grasses and figs. The zebra is a black and white striped mammal that lives in the grasslands or woodlands in East Africa. They also live in open plains, semi-deserts, and some live in zoos. The zebras survival rate is better in captivity because they have people to take care of them and they have healthy food for them to eat. They can live up to 30 years in captivity which is also the zoo, but only 25 years in the wild where there is nobody to take care of them besides the other zebras. In conclusion, a zebra can live either in a zoo or the wild which is out in East Africa.
