		The quagga, a zebra with stripes on its head and neck, but often none on its sides and hindquarters, lived in southern Africa until the 1870s, when it was hunted to extinction.
		However, the mountain zebra survives the dry season largely by migrating to higher ground, where moisture condenses in the cooler air to form rain or snow.
		The plains and mountain zebras weigh 290 to 340 kg (640 to 750 lb) and the Grévy’s zebra weighs up to 450 kg (990 lb), which is about the same weight as a typical riding horse.

		The quagga had the zebra striping pattern in the front of the animal, but had a dark rump; (3) when the region between the pigmented bands becomes too wide, secondary stripes emerge, as if suppression was weakening.
		Zebra stripes have often been thought to be an adaptation that prevents zebras from being seen by predators such as lions or hyenas.
		If the 43 stripes of the mountain zebra were generated in the 17 mm embryo of the 3.75 week zebra, the spacing is also 0.40 mm per stripe.

	Natural History: Zebra zones - includes related article on Grevy's zebra
		Both plains and mountain zebras live in year-round breeding groups of one to several adult mares, their recent offspring, and a single adult male - the stallion - that defends his exclusive mating rights to the females.
		These zebras belong to a small set of species (which includes, among others, the mountain gorilla, the hamadryas baboon, and the greater spearnose bat) in which not only male but also female offspring ultimately leave the group in which they were born; consequently, the adult females within a group are never closely related.
		In the plains zebras we study in Ngorongoro, as well as in a population of wild horses living on an island off the coast of North Carolina, we have found the main source of disruption to be contests between a group's stallion and other males - usually bachelors.

		The mountain zebra is found in two mountainous areas of southwestern Africa where abundant vegetation is present.
		All other zebra species are found in more arid parts of Africa where vegetation is sparser.
		The fl and white striped pattern of the zebra provides disruptive coloration, or coloration that breaks up the body outline, making it difficult for a predator to single out an individual zebra while it is running with other animals in the herd.
