This is a picture of a Burchelli's Zebra, also known as the plains zebra. Or, as most of us know it, A Zebra. There's more than one kind of these stripy beasts! Who knew? Another one grammatically owned by a person is Grevy's Zebra. More stripes and they're thinner. The stripes that is. The animals themselves are bigger. Grevy's zebras weigh 990 pounds! Let's call it a ton and get out of their way. Then there's the mountain zebra with a tan muzzle and a dewlap. A dewlap. They've got little flaps on their necks, like a turkey's only way less gross. What the heck is that 'dewing' on a zebra? Ha! We try to leave you laughing, folks. Or groaning?

Many years ago I did an 4th grade report on zebras, including the extinct Quagga. A brownish zebra that only had stripes on its front half!
Very informative, and funny too!
I'm laughing :D
