Fun Zebra Facts for Kids
These striped animals are not just horses in striped costumes. Here are 3 cool and simple facts that show why zebras are one of the best animals out there!
Zebras have Super Unique Stripes!
Every zebra has its own unique pattern of stripes, just like each person has their own fingerprint. Experts think these cool black stripes may help zebras stay cool under the hot sun in Africa.
Also, when zebras run together, their stripes can mix up predators, making it hard for them to target one zebra. It’s as if zebras wear a special coat that can do so many things!
Zebras are fast
These striped animals can run very fast, up to 65 kilometers per hour! They’re speedy, and their cool stripes make it tough for animals like lions and tigers to catch them when they’re out in nature. It’s almost as if zebras have a special speed power!
Zebras are Social Animals
Zebras love to be with their friends in groups named harems or zeal. They’re really close to each other and help protect everyone from dangers hiding in the big grasslands of Africa.
This shows that working together is super important, even for these fast and friendly animals!
