In addition to being found in parts of Africa, zebras are also held in captivity in zoos and conservation parks in many parts of the world, for people who want to see these animals in person without taking a safari trip. Several attempts have been made to domesticate the zebra, with some animals being trained as riding or driving animals. However, zebras appear to be too unpredictable and flighty to fully domesticate, despite the best efforts of intrepid riders. Instead, some people breed zebra hybrids, crossing full blooded zebras with horses and other equids to produce more easily trained and handled animals which retain the characteristic zebra stripes.
There are several different species of zebra, but all of them are in the same genus,Equus, which they share with horses. Like other equids, zebras are odd-toed ungulates with muscular bodies which are built for running. Zebras were among the earliest animals to split from the original equids, along with asses, and as a result, they have had an extended period of time to adapt to the unique challenges of the African landscape.
