Mountain zebras live in hot, dry, rocky, mountainous and hilly habitats. They prefer slopes and plateaus as high as 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level, although they do migrate lower during winter. Their preferred diet is tufted grass, but in times of shortage, they browse, eating bark, twigs, leaves, buds, fruit, and roots. They drink every day.

Grevy's zebras can survive up to a week without water, but will drink daily when it is plentiful. [20] They often migrate to better watered highlands during the dry season.
