International Cebra Day 2025. The natural distribution of zebras is located in the east and south AfricaWith a strong preference over meadows without trees or Sabana forests. They belong to the equal family, although their morphology is comparable to those of horses and donkeys that belong to the same family.
The chipping coat is particularly different, making them different. It is believed that the coat serves as a camouflage for possible predators and leveling their body temperature. The stripes also form a unique pattern for every zebra, which is possible to serve them to recognize each other.
On our planet there are three types of zebras: zebra from the plain (Equus Quagga)Grévy Zebra (Equus Grevyi) and Bergzebra (Equus Zebra))And unfortunately All are under a risk category within the list, almost threatened (NT) network, or vulnerable (VU) respectively. We can also Grévy Zebra within the Appendix I of the quotes And Mountain Zebra in Annex II.
Grevy’s Zebra is the species that already exists that pursues the greatest risks. So much that it is mentioned in the Red List of the IUCN as in danger of extinction. Recognizable for its large rounded ears, it is the species that has the best and narrow stripes of the three existing.
Grevy’s Zebras once inhabited the entire area between Somalia against Djibouti who crossed the territory of Eritrea. But the decrease in the number of copies is very serious and has disappeared from many of the sites where it was customary until a few years ago to see them. Currently they are only found in North Kenia and in a very small part of Ethiopia.
Under all African mammals, this species is one of those whose geographical distribution is more dramatically reduced. In fact, they have long been the victim of hunting for a long time, because their skin was considered of great value and its meat is greatly appreciated by certain tribes of the Noord -Kenian. However, the largest of the problems he is confronted is the shortage of meadows and water.
Mens: The worst neighbors
About -Eplitated floors have become particularly dry. A situation that is exacerbated in times of drought. To this we have to add the competition of wild animals with cattle for the possibility of feeding the natural meadows. Something that is exclusively the fault of people.
Kenya experiences considerable population growth. This ensures that populations have to be spread more and more and their herds graze in areas that were previously reserved for Grevy’s Zebras and other wild animals, many of which are pushed into destruction for this cause.
In nature there are still around 660,000 copies of ordinary goats. These have to make up for daily, so they usually live near sources, rivers and eagles. Instead, the Zebra from Grevy can spend up to 5 days without drinking, so moving large distances between good and good movement. But the pertinal drought also demand its toll on this species.
Unlimited efforts are made to try to save them. But many of the people who protect them fear that their grandchildren can no longer see Grevy Zebras in freedom. The unstoppable progress of people and the lack of information are two of the most important factors that end the zebras and many more species.
