We have three Grant’s zebras at Bristol Zoo Project; male Peter and females Haezal and Safi. They live in the Bénoué National Park area alongside the addax and giraffes.
Zebra skin is black, so zebras are actually black with white stripes!
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.
The zebras live in the same habitat as our giraffes and addax, mirroring how they would mix in the African plains.
They can sometimes be seen inside the Giraffe House cleaning up some of the food dropped by the giraffes!
Our zebras live alongside the addax and giraffes in the Bénoué National Park habitat.
