What Do Zebras Eat?

Zebras are herbivores. They eat plants, like grasses, leaves, and stems. They will also sometimes eat twigs and shrubs.

Zebras also drink water. Plains zebras drink more water than Grevys zebras because they have access to more water in the savanna. Grevys zebras' bodies have adapted so that they can be healthy with less water, since they live in dry, desert lands.

On the last page we learned that zebras live in Africa. On this page we learned that they eat plants. How do you think where zebras live is connected to what they eat?

I'm wondering how zebras get enough water to drink when they live in the desert and eat dry grasses.

I notice that the word herbivores is in thick, fat letters. That makes me think that word is important. Try clicking on the word and see what happens.
