Zebra

Our Grant’s zebra, Peter, lives in the Bénoué National Park area alongside the addax and giraffes.

Fun Fact

Zebra skin is black, so zebras are actually black with white stripes!

Conservation

Grant’s zebras are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN.

Across Central Africa, where they live in the wild, their biggest threats are habitat loss and illegal hunting.

Habitat

Peter lives in the same habitat as our giraffes and addax, mirroring how they would mix in the African plains.

The zebra can sometimes be seen inside the Giraffe House cleaning up some of the food dropped by the giraffes!
