The zebra is interesting animal. It is about 65 centimeters tall and 250 centimeters long. Its white and
black strips help it to hide from enemies and also to stop 70% of heat in the sunny and hot days. The
zebra has 40 teeth and it also has short hair on its neck in order to protect it from annoying flies.
