Grant’s Zebra - Equus quagga boehmi

Grant’s zebra is the smallest of the six plains zebra species, and has more vertical stripes than other zebras. They’re sorta dumpy-looking compared to other zebras, too. Short and stout with skinny legs. They’re not endangered, but the civil wars in their habitats (such as Somalia, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Uganda) have slashed their population drastically. Still, they’re doing better than most zebra species.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. 1883.

I do love me a good zebra. Not only are they ALL adorable, they are also tasty (I have not tasted them all but am just extrapolating from a small sample size).
