With bold white stripes, zebras zig-zag.

These sleek, striped equids live in the savannah grasslands of eastern and southern Africa where they spend most of the day grazing on grass, leaves, bark, roots, and stems. Each zebra’s pattern of stripes is unique. The plains, or common, zebra sport wide stripes on their bodies — that continue to the undersides — along with thinner ‘shadow’ stripes on their hind quarters. Their excellent hearing and vision help them escape predators.

The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, hand-painted with care, and provide educationally valuable playtime. Zebra foals can run with the herd just 20 minutes after birth. In the first days, however, the mare stays very close to her foal, so that it can acquaint itself with her scent, appearance, and voice. Zebra foals don’t just have a mane on their neck. Its continues along their entire back, up to their tail.

Fun Facts: Zebras have night vision which helps them to keep an eye on their predators.
