Offers a picture, where they live, and how to tell the difference between the three species. The distinctive African horse. That kick can kill a Hyaena, in one recorded instance it was used by Plains zebras to kill a Wildebeest calf. The calf had become separated from its mother and was likely to attract the attention of a predator with its cries, the execution seemed a kindness. Zebra numbers are declining as their lands are reduced by human habitation and they are still hunted for their attractive coats. They are also seen as competition for the domestic livestock of the human population. Zebras are also susceptible to diseases introduced by domestic equine stock, not having the same resistance. Historically zebras were used as food, in harness and as guards of livestock, now they are a tourist attraction, which offers them some protection.
