Care & Wellness:
The three acre habitat for zebra, ostrich, and giraffe provides ample space to allow the zebra to graze all year. As a mixed species habitat, the zebra interact with the ostrich and giraffe just as they would in the wild.
Behavior:
- Even in large gatherings of zebra, smaller family groups of a male (stallion), several females, and their young offspring remain intact.
- Zebras will fight if needed, using kicks and powerful bites.
- They are capable of running at speeds up to 40 MPH.
