In my experience, zebra skins wear very well as rugs. That is no doubt why they are so popular. I have them in high traffic areas, and apart from the tails, which rapidly get sparse, they have held up quite well.

I have not put my lion or leopard skins on the floor, however, for fear that they would not wear quite as well. Of the two, I think the lion would wear better because of its short, rather stiff, fur, very like a zebra. The leopard's fur is longer and softer, and the skin seems thinner, too, so I would think it would be too fragile to walk on regularly without rapidly becoming worn out.

I do have a kudu skin rug--which is something of an oddity, I gather--and I am sorry to say that it has not worn very well at all. After about three years, it is in a sorry state, with hair missing and the skin worn to the leather in many places. It is, however, in a fairly high traffic area, and I'm sure that is a big part of the problem.
