The Selous' zebra (Equus quagga selousi) is a subspecies of the plains zebra, spread over southeastern Africa. It is found mostly in Mozambique, but nowadays it is critically endangered.

Taxonomy

They are sometimes confused with Damaraland zebras, but they differ, as their legs are striped to the hooves.[3][4]

Description

These subspecies have clean black-and-white banding without the brown shadow stripes of the Chapman's zebra subspecies. These are extended down the flanks and over the whole body except face and neck. The upper half is covered with horizontal stripes, mostly faded, that do not go around the legs. The belly is partly striped. Their average mass is {{convert|300|kg}}, and the average shoulder height is 59inches . Their track measures {{convert|121|mm}} x {{convert|89|mm}}.[5][6]
