Explanation
A zebra is an African animal that looks like a horse and has black and white stripes on its body. For example, we saw a zebra at the zoo. Zebras live in grasslands and eat plants. Their stripes help them stay safe by confusing other animals. People love zebras because they are unique and beautiful. “Zebra” can also mean something that has black and white patterns, like a zebra crossing (a striped crosswalk for people).
