Zebras are herbivores and eat mostly different types of grass, but they also eat bark, herbs and shrubs. Zebras prefer full green grass that is short and near the ground.
The stripes may also play a role in zebras selecting mates, and they may help zebras remember other individual zebras. Zebras live about 25 years and weigh between 440 and 900 pounds. Zebras are social animals that have never been domesticated. They live in a variety of areas, including mountains and plains.
