Before we begin the How To Draw a Zebra drawing lesson, here are some fun facts about zebras you might find interesting, especially for kids.

• Zebras have black and white stripes covering their bodies and legs. No two zebras have the same stripe pattern.
• Zebras live in grasslands and open woodlands in Africa. They stay in herds for protection from predators like lions.
• Zebras use their teeth to eat grasses and other plants. They have to constantly eat to sustain their energy levels.
• Foals are baby zebras. They can stand and run within an hour of birth thanks to strong legs and joints.
• Zebras communicate with various sounds like barks, whinnies and grunts. They also use body language and touch.
• Their stripes help camouflage zebras in tall grass and provide protection by confusing predators during herd movements.
• Zebras sleep standing up to better protect themselves from threats. They only sleep lightly for a few minutes at a time.
• Hooves of zebras have adaptations like hardened outer edges and shock-absorbing soles to navigate rocky terrain.
• Zebras have excellent vision, hearing and sense of smell to detect predators and find food and water sources.
• There are 3 main species of zebras – plains, mountain and Grevy’s zebra, which is the largest type.
