GREVY’S

 

Physical Description

Big heads, large and rounded ears, and thick, erect manes make the Grevy’s zebra appear more mule-like than other zebras.

 In fact, many experts consider Grevy’s zebras to be striped asses that are not closely related to other zebras.

    Their coats sport dazzling narrow stripes that wrap around each other in a concentric pattern and are bisected by a black stripe running down the spine.
