  - Damaraland Zebras

The Damaraland zebras are different in the brownish colored “shadow stripes” they have in between their black and white stripes.  Also notice their stripes do not carry down all the way to their hooves.  This makes an easy indicator that zebras are white with black stripes because you can see their legs are white where there are no stripes.

They are very closely related to horses.  They have been called “striped horses”.  Like horses; females are called mares, males are called stallions, all babies are called foals, males babies are called colts and female babies are called fillies.

The babies’ manes run from their forehead all the way to their tails.  Their hair is not slick like their parents.  It is longer and fuzzy looking.   About 15 minutes after being born they are able to stand and within an hour they are able to run and keep up with the herd (a group).
