History:

Unlike many animals endemic to niche areas of Africa, plains zebras are not considered a vulnerable or endangered species. However, the are some sub-species, such as the mountain zebra and Grevy’s zebra, that live in other areas and are struggling with dwindling population numbers. Efforts have been made to domesticate zebras given their close relation to horses. However, due to their unpredictable nature and strong will, most efforts were unsuccessful.
