Information
Zebra's
are more active in daylight, spending nights preferably
on short pasture relatively safe from ambush. Zebras graze
individually an hour or so at a time at night but move
about very little. Resting zebras often sleep soundly,
but at least one herd member remains standing and alert.
At daybreak in warm weather, herds begin filing to pastures
of longer grass and may cover over 10 mi (17 km) before
settling for another night. Mass movements between pastures
and sleeping grounds, and to water at midday, are also
peaks of social activity; stallions in bachelor herds
are especially active and entertaining to watch.
