This is a Grevy's zebra I shot in Kenya in 1971. Grevy's zebras are now considered an endangered species.

This information was supplied by Wikipedia:

Grévy's zebra is the largest of all wild equines. It is 2.5–2.75 m (8–9 ft) from head to tail with a 38–75 cm (15–30 in) tail, and stands 1.45–1.60 m (4'7"–5'3") high at the shoulder. These zebras weigh 350–450 kg (770–990 lb). The stripes are narrow and close-set, being broader on the neck, and they extend to the hooves. The belly and the area around the base of the tail lack stripes. The stripes of the zebra may serve to make it look bigger than it actually is or disrupt its outline. It appears that a motionless zebra can be unnoticed at night or in shade.

Grévy's zebra differs from the other two zebras in its more primitive characteristics. Its head is large, long, and narrow with elongated nostril openings. It is particularly mule-like in appearance with a brown muzzle. The ears are very large, rounded, and conical. The mane is tall and erect; juveniles have a mane that extends to the length of the back and shortens when they reach adulthood. Foals are born with brown and white striping, with the brown stripes darkening to black as they grow older.
