What do you know about Zebra?
Burchell's Zebra Equus burchelli Vlaktesebra
Burchell's Zebra are a very well known part of the
African animal kingdom, with most people recognizing the striped coat instantly.
They are gregarious animals and live in family groups that often come together
to form larger groups. The males of the group are kicked out when
they reach maturity and go one to form bachelor herds. Burchell's Zebra are
exclusively grass eaters and often invade burnt areas to take advantage of the
new shoots which are highly nutritious. They are very restless animals and are
often the first animals in a mixed group to notice when something is amiss. They
have very good eyesight and sense of smell.
Weighing up to 550 pounds and standing 55 inches at the shoulder, zebra are commonly found in the company of blue wildebeest.
Recommended Calibers:
Having been on the bottom of the food chain for eons, zebras are very tough customers. 7mm Mag, 30-06 or larger calibers should be considered when hunting. They can be difficult to put down and don't take them lightly.
