Kids love zebras, and this free printable zebra coloring pages resource will help them learn more about this animal's physical characteristics in detail. Zebras are striped animals that belong to the family Equidae and genus Equus.

There are three types of zebras: Plains zebras which live in eastern and southern Africa, Grevy's Zebras, which thrive in woody regions in Kenya and Ethiopia and Mountains Zebras, which survive in dry upland plains in Namibia and some parts of western South Africa.


All kinds of zebras are dark-skinned, and their stripes arise from skin cells that decide the pigmentation of their furs.

Every species of zebra has its unique pattern of stripes. Their height ranges between 45 and 55 inches. These striped animals are herbivores and mainly eat grasses.

They are social animals and live with each other in groups as 'herds'. They form mixed herds with other animals such as giraffes, young colts, and wildebeests, probably to avoid their predators.

Did you know? Grevy's zebras are endangered species, and mountain zebras are on the list of threatened species.
