Provides an introduction to the zebra, covering its physical characteristics, habits, food, and relationship to humans.

As part of an online supplement to the monthly children's magazine "Zoobooks," Wildlife Education, Ltd. presents information about zebras. Information about the genus, physical characteristics, diet, social behavior, reproduction, and geographical distribution of the zebra is available.

Describes the different types of zebras, where they live, how they socialize and protect their young from predators, and the dangers zebras face from urban growth in Africa.

Describes the physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat of zebras.

Extinction of quagga zebras left behind historical records, art, literature, and DNA whose information led to their rebreeding.

The new Equid Action Plan provides current knowledge on the biology, ecology and conservation status of wild zebras, asses, and horses. It specifies what information is lacking, and prioritizes needed conservation actions. The Action Plan also provides chapters on equid taxonomy, genetics, reproductive biology, and population dynamics. These chapters highlight unsolved issues of taxonomy and genetics. They also provide information and insight into the special demographic and genetic challenges of managing small populations. The chapter on disease provides a review of documented equine disease and epidemiology and focuses on priorities for equid conservation health. The final chapter deals with the importance of developing an assessment methodology that explicitly considers the role of equids in ecosystems and the ecological processes that are necessary for ecosystem viability. The approach of combining ecological field studies and ecosystem modeling should prove useful for the scientific management and conservation of wild equids worldwide. These chapters provide research and conservation practitioners with new information and paradigms.

Discusses the physical characteristics, habitat, social behavior, and life cycle of the zebra.
