	There are three species of zebras: Grévy’s zebra, the mountain zebra, and plain zebras. Each kind of zebras has its own pattern of stripes. And you can tell individual zebras apart. No two zebras have exactly the same stripes. 
	Some scientists think zebra stripes act as protection. When zebras are feeding together, the stripes can confuse an attacking animal. The stripes make it hard for a lion to pick out one zebra in the crowd. The stripes also break up the zebra’s outline and make zebras hard to see at a distance. Other scientists think zebras can tell each other apart from their stripes. The stripes might help zebras find family members and friends. Each species of zebra has a different pattern of stripes. The Grévy’s zebra has narrow stripes set closely together. The mountain zebra has wider stripes. The plain zebra sometimes has faint gray stripes between the black stripes on its sides.
	Today, Grévy’s zebra and the mountain zebra are endangered. People still hunt them for meat and hides. People turn the lands where zebras live into farms and ranches. This leaves fewer and fewer places for zebras to live.
