Zebras are known as several species of African equids united by their distinctive black & white striped coats.
They live in the treeless grasslands, and woodlands of Eastern and Southern Africa.
They are herbivorous so they  moslty eat a variety of grass.
Plains Zebras: 880 lbs
Grevy's Zebras: 850 lbs
Mountian Zebras: 620 lbs

Zebras have tissues,
organ, and organs systems which are made up of cells, which proves that zebras have cells just like all other living things. D.N.A. is Deoxyribonucleic acid.

First zebras don't remain the same herd for life, as soon as they're done sucking they leave the dam's side and join another herd.
Zebras can live alone or with others that are around the same age.
Males reach sexual maturity around 3 1/2 years of age, females reach 3 to 6 years of age.
Not all zebras are migratory. Depends entirely on the availability of food.

Female zebras mature earlier then the males, and a mare may have her first foal by the age of three. Males are not able to breed until the age of five or six. Mares may give birth to one foal every twelve months.

Development processess that create stripes and other patterns are complex and difficult to untangle.
Scientists designed a simple genetic circuit that creates a stripped pattern and they do that by controlling it. They tweak each single gene. The genetic loop is made with two linked molecules that sense how crowded a group of cells has become and respond by controlling their movements.

All the energy made in the food chain comes from the producers, or plants, converting sunlight into energy with photosynthesis. the rest of the food chain just uses energy. The Zebras and lions use up energy doing stuff like running, hunting, and breathing.

Zebras evolved among the Old World horses within the last 4 million years. It has been suggested that zebras are paraphyletic and that striped equids evolved more than once.

They have mechanisms for controlling such factors as their internal temperature, water balance, and acidity. Homeostasis is necessary for normal life processes that take place inside cells. If an organism cant maintain homeostasis, normal life processes are disrupted.
