Not surprisingly, mountain zebras live in rugged terrain at high altitudes. They are well-equipped to handle their habitat: they have hard, pointed hooves that allow them to climb mountains. Making a home at heights of over 6,500 feet, mountain zebras use their impressive climbing abilities to navigate between mountains in search of food and water.3 Not to be outdone, plains zebras traverse a wide range of diverse habitats from mountains as high as 14,000 feet to the plains of the Serengeti. Grévy’s zebras tend to stay closer to the grassland habitats they prefer, remaining at elevations below 2,000 feet.
