Grevy’s zebra — size comparison — facts and sources
Grevy’s zebra inhabits dry savannas and semi-desert plains. Narrow stripes cover the body without continuing across the white belly. It is a large wild equid with prominent ears. Grasses dominate its diet, supplemented by leaves and shoots.
It forms loose, changing groups, and adult males may defend territories. This differs from the more lasting family groups of plains zebras. Across open, dry landscapes, animals move between feeding grounds and water whose availability changes seasonally.
