Questions from Nathan M. (HMS pd. 6)
1) Do the zebras differ in population in Lewa and Wamba?
The populations of Grevy's Zebras in Wamba and Lewa do differ currently. There are more resources (water and grass) so there are many, many more zebras at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. In Wamba, there are very few due to the drought (lack of rain). The grasses are very, very short and the ground is hot and dry. We saw around 30 Grevy's Zebra in Wamba and over 75 at Lewa. In the past they have seen hundreds of Grevy's Zebra in Wamba and hopefully will again when the rains come.

2) Have you witnessed any adults trying to save their young from being eaten or attacked?
3) Would a zebra attack a human in its territory?
