The Zebra
Zebras are truly a magical spectacle of nature with their stunning black and white striped coats that help them camouflage in the wild! These incredible creatures, part of the equine family just like horses, have an average height between 1.2 to 1.5 meters and can run up to 65 km/h! They're mostly found in Africa, with each individual having its unique set of stripes, just like a human's fingerprint, making every Zebra one of a kind!

Zebra Matchups
We use AI to simulate matchups between the Zebra and other animals. Our simulation considers size, strength, and natural predatory behaviors to determine the most likely outcome.
Fun Fact: Zebras have light-activated stripe patterns! When the temperature gets hot, the black stripes get hotter than the white ones, creating breezes that cool down the Zebra, natural air conditioning for the win!
Fun Fact: Even with eight hours of standing up doze-offs, Zebras get only an average of 25 minutes of rapid-eye-movement REM sleep per day, showing that they're truly the ‘morning stars' of the animal kingdom!
