zebra.
The accidental product of a study abroad program in Italy, Eclyse is a visually fascinating example of mixed genetic material. Eclyse's mother was a zebra living at a German safari park. When she was sent on loan to Italy, she was allowed to roam free in an enclosure with both horses and zebras.
Seems like Equus Grevyi, according to a quick lookup on wikipedia.
Based on the narrow stripes, I'd say a Grevy's, Equus grevyi.
Definitely Grevy's zebra.
definitely not common. Grevy's? I've only seen Grevy''s from far away, and the stripes are so close they look almost like an optical illusion
Grevys I am sure the various Mountain Zebras have extremely brod stripes and Plains Zebra has a different pattern. Incidentally, is Grevy's still placed in the subgenus Dolichohippus? I believe the earliest member of Equus, the North American E.simplicidens, was placed in that subgroup, which suggest animals like Grevy's were once widespread on the Great Plains
