The Threats it Faces?


The zebra is facing a lot of threats in its natural habitat. The Grevy’s zebra in particular is the most threatened among the other zebra species. They are also the largest wild species in the horse family. Human encroachment is the main threat to the zebras. Different livestock is already raised in the same area where the zebras naturally live. Land conversion to agriculture is also another aspect of it.  Because of this, there is a competition for food and resources. This sad truth has forced the zebras out of its natural habitat to look for food. Another factor that has been affecting zebras is poaching.
