Zebra
Galloping across the golden savanna in a stunning black-and-white herd, the zebra is one of Africa's most iconic and social animals. While they may look like striped horses—and are in fact close cousins—their brilliant coat is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. No two zebras have exactly the same stripe pattern; each one is as unique as a human fingerprint!
These stripes aren't just for show; they act as a dazzling disguise in the tall grass, confusing hungry predators like lions by making it hard to pick out a single zebra from the moving herd. Zebras are very family-oriented, living in small groups led by a stallion, and they communicate with each other using cheerful barks, whinnies, and snorts.
