Questions from Kim M. (HMS pd. 1)

Are zebras "friends" with any other animals? If so, what species? What animals do they interact with?
Grevy's Zebra are often found with many other ungulates. When they are grazing and traveling with other ungulates they can all become aware of nearby predators and possibly escape easier. They hang out with Wildbeast, Oryx, Impala and Plains Zebra as well as Warthogs.
--Tammy Schmidt, Team Member-St. Louis Zoo


When danger approaches the zebras, how fast do they move?
Grevy's zebras can run at about 35 mph.
--Ms. Russell

Does everyone know what Tammy means when she says "ungulate"? If not, look it up-- then try it out on someone! It's a great word!
