This article is about the zebra
Latin name: Equus burchellii
Lifespan: Both the males and the females live up to 35 years of age.
Weight: 300 to 320 kg for both sexes.
Sexual differentiation: The male and female are similar in size. The male’s genitals are not always visible, making it very difficult to see the difference. One clear difference is the black vertical stripe between the buttocks. The male has a very narrow stripe about 1 inch wide and the female has a stripe about 2 or 3 inches wide.
Social grouping:
The collective name used for a group of zebras is called a “dazzle”. There are two different groupings that zebra live in. The first is the harem. A harem consists of 1 dominant male, 5 or 10, sometimes more females and their young.
