• Zebras drink at water-holes. Zebras need to have a long drink once a day. They like to stand in the water too.
• Dust can be useful too. When a zebra has an itchy back, it lies down and has a good roll. Zebras also help each other with itches. They nibble along their backs to get rid of insects.
• Sometimes they are not so friendly. Young males live together in groups until they start a herd of their own. When their is a young female around, the stallions will bite and kick one another. But they don't fight to the death. When one has had enough, he lowers his head and trots away.
• Most of the time zebras get along well together. They also get along well with other animals. They can be seen drinking along side a kudu or a giraffe at a water hole.
• Unlike horses, zebras cannot be trained and tamed by people. People used to hunt them for their skins. Now we try to look after them.
