Equus burchelli Shoulder height 130cm. Weight 300–340kg.
Also known as common or plains zebra, this attractive striped horse is common and widespread throughout most of East and southern Africa, where it is often seen in large herds alongside wildebeest. There are many subspecies of zebra in Africa, and most southern races, including those in Botswana, have paler brownish 'shadow stripes' between the bold black stripes (which are present in all races).

Zebra are common in most conservation areas, from northern South Africa, Namibia and all the way up to the southeast of Ethiopia. In Botswana they occur in Makgadikgadi, Nxai and to the north– but I don't believe that they still occur within the CKGR. If the rains have been good in the Makgadikgadi Pans area, then during the first few months of the year you can witness huge herds of zebra roaming across the open plains in search of the freshest new grass.
