It is found mostly in Mozambique, but nowadays it is critically endangered. TaxonomyThey are sometimes confused with Damaraland zebras, but they differ, as their legs are striped to the hooves.[3][4] DescriptionThese 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] References1. ^http://www.wildliferanching.com/content/plains-zebra-equus-quagga {{Equus}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q5490348}}2. ^http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id116561/ BioLib.cz-Taxon profile 3. ^http://www.wild-about-you.com/GameSelousZebra.htm 4. ^http://www.madamzebra.com/Differences-between-species.html Difference between the subspecies. 5. ^http://wildliferanching.com/content/plains-zebra-equus-quagga 6. ^http://www.wild-about-you.com/GameSelousZebra.htm 2 : Zebras|Mammals of Mozambique |
