Questions:
Zebras are wild animals that live in Africa. They are best known for their black and white stripes, which help them hide in tall grass and confuse predators. No two zebras have the same stripe pattern—each one is unique! Zebras are herbivores, which means they eat only plants like grass and leaves. They live in groups called herds, which help protect them from lions and other predators. Zebras can run very fast to escape danger, sometimes up to 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour. They also use their strong teeth and hooves to defend themselves when needed.
