斑马在享受他们的一天(Zebras enjoying their day)

引入斑马日的目的是让世界认识到它们的自然栖息地中存在的独特生物，以及我们必须采取什么措施避免它们灭绝。你可以在非洲南部和东部找到斑马。斑马最引人注目的特征当然是那些独特的条纹。斑马有三种现存的物种：平原斑马（Equus quagga）、格雷维斑马（Eqeus grevei）和山地斑马（Equs Zebra）。每个物种都有独特的条纹。这些条纹使它们能够与环境融为一体，使它们的捕食者很难将它们识别为个体动物。斑马驹出生时带有红棕色条纹，最终会变成黑白相间。

Zebra Day was introduced with the intention of making the world aware of the distinctive creatures existing in their natural habitat and what measures we must take to avoid their species from becoming extinct. You can find zebras mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa. The most attention-grabbing feature of a zebra of course is those unique stripes. There are three living species of Zebra: the plains zebra (Equus quagga), the grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi), and the mountain zebra (Equus zebra). Each species has unique stripes. The stripes allow them to blend with the environment and make it difficult for their predators to recognize them as individual animals. A zebra foal is born with reddish brown stripes which eventually changes to black and white.
