Zebras live in the African savannah & belong to the horse family. Each zebra has a unique fur coat pattern consisting of black & white stripes. Even the mane is striped. The pattern provides camouflage, confuses predators, protects against mosquitoes, makes the heat more bearable, & helps the animals to recognise each other. Schleich manufacture amazingly wonderful accurate models of all sorts of animals, including this Zebra model. This Schleich Female Zebra has been beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children & also makes a great collectors item for the nature enthusiast.
