whitish transverse stripes, the croup of @
reddish-gray, tail and legs whitish. Its

by the lion, whose combined depredations
are thinning the ranks of these animals.
The herds of Zebras and Quaggas are
commonly small—each one containing
about twenty animals. They are very
timid and cautious, stationing sentinels
while they are feeding.
