Odd-Toed Ungulates

Burchell's Zebra: Equus birchelli

    A certain zookeeper here at the park adores this animal and wants to teach the public about how interesting these animals are, the Zebra is native to Africa and is found the majority of the time grazing. During times when water is scarce these ungulates will dig for water or travel days without water.

Can you think of some close relatives of Zebra's?
