описание зебры на британском языке

Zebra is a striped member of the horse family. There are three species--the common zebra, Grevy's zebra, and the mountain zebra. They live in herds in the deserts and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. 

A zebra has alternating white and black or dark brown stripes. Each of the three species of zebras has a distinctive stripe pattern. In addition, much like fingerprints in human beings, no individual zebra's stripes are identical to those of another zebra. The stripes may help to keep herds of zebras together. Experiments have shown that from birth zebras are attracted to objects with stripes. Zebras with abnormal stripe patterns are usually not allowed in the herd and seldom survive. 

A zebra eats grass. It may also eat bark, leaves, buds, fruits, and roots. A zebra spends most of its time eating.
