Zebras are aggressive, unpredictable and have sharp reflexes, owing to their natural habitat. They view us as predators and fight back to remain wild and free!

When you picture a zebra, you probably imagine a black- and white-striped animal, somewhere between a horse and a donkey. Some may think of a poor little zebra surrounded by predators in the unforgiving African plains, while others may imagine ‘Marty’ from Madagascar!

They look like cute and nearly defenseless animals, but they can kick and bite in a desperate attempt to save themselves. Poor, poor zebras! Or are they? If zebras were actually the innocent and docile animals that we imagine them to be, why don’t we ride zebras like horses? It would certainly look classier than a normal horse, right?
