There's no mistaking what you are seeing when you spot a horse-like animal with black and white stripes: it's nothing else but a zebra! Read on and have your children enjoy these zebra facts for kids.

Zebras have their own unique pattern of distinctive stripes, just as humans have their own unique pattern of fingerprints. However, scientists are not sure as to why zebras have stripes, they just believe the stripes are a way for zebras to protect themselves from predators. Camouflage leads the list. Stripes make a herd of zebras look confusing to their predators especially when they're moving. Whatever lies behind those stripes, one thing is for sure – no two set of stripes are exactly the same.

Sadly, zebras are becoming endangered. Finding food and water gives them a difficult time. Worse, humans are hunting them down for their skins and meat.
