Fact: The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga),
is commonly found in the savannas and open forests of southwest Africa. It is also
known as the Common Zebra. Unlike most wild horses, the Plains Zebra exists in large
numbers. A life expectancy of 40 years is not uncommon. Because they depend upon
drinking frequently, they will be found close to water. |
