Zebras have a less efficient digestive system than ruminants but food passage is twice as fast. [15] Thus, zebras are less selective in foraging, but they do spend much time eating. The zebra is a pioneer grazer and prepares the way for more specialised grazers such as blue wildebeests and Thomson's gazelles. [9] Lions feeding on a zebra
There are three living species: Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), the plains zebra (E. quagga), and the mountain zebra (E. zebra). Zebras share the genus Equus with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae. Zebra stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual.
Circadian migration is where birds utilise circadian rhythm (CR) to regulate migration in both fall and spring. In circadian migration, clocks of both circadian (daily) and circannual (annual) patterns are used to determine the birds' orientation in both time and space as they migrate from one destination to the next.

Winter is upon the North Texas and Southwestern Oklahoma region and the conditions of this season present challenges to our region’s wild animals. 'Move, change or die': How these animals adapt ...
Why do zebras have stripes? The answer to that question, which scientists have wrestled with for over a century, may be most related to temperature. It was previously thought that the stripes ...
Climate change also increases both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, [7] which can directly wipe out regional populations of species. [8] Those species occupying coastal and low-lying island habitats can also become extinct by sea level rise. This has already happened with Bramble Cay melomys in Australia. [9]
Ever wondered why zebras have stripes? Well, the researchers behind a new study think they have a pretty good answer to that question. WMAQ reports "California scientists say the animal's black ...
