a species of zebra, scientifically known as Equus zebra, native to the mountainous regions of Southwestern Africa
What is a "mountain zebra"?
A mountain zebra is a wild equid that inhabits the mountainous regions of southern Africa. It is a social animal that typically lives in small family groups consisting of a dominant male, several females, and their offspring. The mountain zebra is easily recognizable by its striking black-and-white striped coat, which provides camouflage in its rocky, mountainous habitat. They are herbivores and feed on a variety of grasses, leaves, bark, and roots. Due to habitat loss and poaching, mountain zebras have been classified as vulnerable species, and conservation efforts are underway to protect them and their habitats.
