🐎Grevy's zebra
Das Grevyzebra (Equus grevyi) ist ein Zebra aus der Gattung der Pferde (Equus) innerhalb der Familie der Pferde (Equidae). Die Art ist nach dem ehemaligen französischen Präsidenten Jules Grévy benannt, dem in den 1880er Jahren ein Tier vom Kaiser Abessiniens geschenkt wurde. Das Grevyzebra lebt im nordöstlichen Afrika, hauptsächlich in Äthiopien und Kenia in trockenen Gebieten und ist eher einzelgängerisch. Als Hauptnahrung dienen Gräser, seltener auch weichere Pflanzen. In freier Wildbahn ist das Grevyzebra aufgrund von Bejagung und durch Lebensraumverlust stark gefährdet. Es weist gegenüber anderen Zebraformen das dichteste Streifenmuster auf und stellt die größte der heute wildlebenden Pferdearten dar.
