Population of Zebras


Population
Population is: All the members of one specie in a particular area.
For example: a population is like a herd of animals of the same specie. I am going to tell about the population of zebras…
POPULATION:
Equus zebra: 600-700 in the wild.
LIFESPAN:
Members of the genus Equus (horses, donkeys and zebras) can live 25 to 45 years.
FOOD:
Mountain zebras feed on a variety of grasses.
OFFSPRING:
Foals (young mountain zebras) weight 55 pounds at birth. Mares normally give birth to their first foal when they are between three and six years of. Normally they then give birth to one foal every one to three years until they are 24.
THREATS:
The spread of agriculture is one of the main threats to the mountain zebra. Their habitat is destroyed to make room for new farmland, and they are hunted and killed so that domestic livestock can graze on the land. Mountain zebras are also hunted for their skins.
