Grevy's Zebra; Equus Grevyi A Grevy's Zebras Ecosystem: (what it eats, where it sleeps, what it interacts with, predators)
A Grevy's Zebra is a herbivore and it eats mainly grass, legumes (part of the pea family), and they browse (when a herbivore "browses" it means for them to graze and eat shrubs, grass, etc). Before the population of Grevy's Zebras decreased, due to hunting and habitat loss, they used to live in many places such as the semiarid scrublands, the plains of Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Kenya in East Africa but because of the decrease in population, they now inhabit the Horn of Africa, and Southern Ethiopia as well as Northern Kenya. They mostly live in grasslands and savanna's.
With approximately only 2,000 left in population, the Grevy's Zebras have many predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, hunting dogs and humans. Humans threaten Grevy's Zebras in many ways, for example, in the 1970's humans would hunt them for their coats which was a popular fashion, they are also poaches for their skins and there has been a recent decline in their population due to disease and drought.
The Grevy's Zebras interact with many abiotic and biotic factors such as...
10 abiotic factors of a Grevy's Zebra;
The Sun: Since they live in the desert, the Grevy's Zebra is exposed to a lot of sunshine
Air: Like many living things, the Grevy's Zebra relies on air to breathe and survive
Water: Although they live in the desert, Grevy's Zebras as well as most living things rely on water to survive. Water can be found in specific places in the desert such as Cacti. (Xerophytes; Cacti, Succulent Plants)
10 biotic factors of a Grevy's Zebra;
Grass: Although they are considered desert animals, Grevy's Zebras mostly live in grasslands as well as savanna's so that they can eat grass, shrubs, etc.
Humans: One of the main reasons why Grevy's Zebras are endangered is because of hunters so when they are being hunted, they interact with humans.
Lions: Lions hunt many animals as well as Grevy's Zebras.
