"Stay Alert"
Grant's Zebra

(Equus burchelli boehmi)

Grant's zebras, also known as the Plains Zebras, are numerous throughout a very wide area in Africa south of the Sahara. They inhabit savannas, plains, and in some cases mountainous regions. Zebras are generally gregarious. Herds are made up of family groups of one male and one to six females and their young. Even where there are large numbers of zebras forming an apparently uniform herd across the plain it is, in fact, made up of family groups, each retaining its separate identity, with the bachelor groups also remaining distinct. The Grants Zebras are not an endangered or threatened species; however the Grevy and Mountain Zebras are very endangered because of loss of habitat and over hunting.

Wildlife artist Kathie Miller has taken ordinary fabric and turned this beautiful animal into a piece of art.
