FUN FACTS

All zebras are uniquely striped; no two zebras have the same stripe pattern.

The Grevy's zebra is not closely related to the horse but to the wild donkey.

The Grevy's zebra was named in honor of Jules Grevy, who was the President of France's Third Republic and received the first-known specimen as a gift in 1882.
