Grevy's zebra are easy to tell from other zebras. In addition to being the largest zebra, their stripes are thin, close together, and are found on the legs all the way down to the hooves. Grevy's zebra face a double threat. In addition to being hunted for their beautiful coat, they must also compete with domestic livestock for water.
