Description

Zebras have amazing eyesight. Their eyes are on the side of their head, this gives them a wide field of view. Zebras also have night vision, although not as advanced as that of most of their predators.

Zebras also have excellent hearing and have large, round ears. Zebras can turn their ears in almost any direction. In addition to extreme hearing and eyesight, zebras also have precise senses of smell and taste.

They're mostly social animals that live in large herds to small harems. Unlike their closest relatives in the equid family, donkeys and horses, zebras have never been truly domesticated.
