Burchell's zebra

Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli) large herbivore living in open plains. MOTHER AND BABY. Linyanti and Savuti areas. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.
Their upper and lower incisors make them the only grazers to be able to chew off long and coarse grass rather than tearing off softer and shorter grass. They are water dependent so usually come to a water sourse at least once per day. These diurnal animals weight up to 300kgs and have one foal per year. Impressive annual migrations occur every year between their winter and summer feeding grounds.
