Detailed explanation-1: -Zebra legs are long and slender, and very strong, which enables them to run up to 40 miles per hour to escape predators in a hunt. Striped markings on a zebra break up their outline, making it difficult for predators to hone in on an individual zebra amongst a herd.

Detailed explanation-2: -Zebras prefer to reside in open areas to best flee from predators, if there is an immediate threat a zebra’s best defense is to flee making sharp sporadic movements. This defense makes the open savanna an ideal habitat for zebras.

Detailed explanation-3: -The zebra is not a picky eater. Unlike many ungulates in Africa, zebras do not require short grass to graze. Instead, they eat a wide variety of different grasses, sometimes even eating leaves and young trees. As a result, they can range more widely than many other species, often venturing into woodlands.

Detailed explanation-4: -They have long, slender legs and hoofed feet that allow them to run quickly in an effort to avoid fast-moving predators. Grevy’s zebras also have very keen eyesight. Their large eyes are set far back on their heads, which provides a wide field of vision and the ability to spot movement at great distances.
