Hello Nature Lovers!
Here at Jemu Expeditions, we love shining the light on Africa's most incredible creatures. Today, let us learn about the fascinating life of the Gravy Zebra, a fantastic subspecies known for its unique features and rich history.🎞
The Gravy Zebra, or Equus quagga, is one of the plain's zebra species with blacker stripes and slightly wider pattern.
They live predominantly in the southern parts of Africa, specifically in open grasslands and savanna areas.
They feed primarily on grass, leaves, and at times shrubs and are thus responsible for maintaining their environment healthy🌿.
Zebras, including the gravy variety, have been part of African history and culture for centuries. In the past, they were hunted because of their beautiful coats, which ironically had seen some of the populations decline.
Conservation in the past has helped to protect and replenish their numbers.
They thrive when they are given open grazing and are adapted for the seasonal fluctuations in the habitats where they live. Although not critically endangered, gravy zebras are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
They are near-threatened, a classification which indicates that they still need ongoing conservation to ensure their survival.
