** Endangered Species Research and Source Document ** Locate your animal’s habitat (Where does it live? Does it migrate?) The Grevys Zebra lives in Africa and northern Kenya. They migrate to greener mountain pastures. Largest populations are in Tanzania. Large migration across the Serengeti. Include all subspecies or varieties of your animal. Grevy’s, Grant’s zebra, crawshays, chapman, damara, bruchell(extinct) ,quagga(extinct), mountain, hartmans mountain, and plain zebra which is the most common. Identify at least 10 characteristics that will give an in-depth, accurate description of your animal. Around 4.5 to 5 feet tall, ten feet long and between 775 to 1000 pounds, live up to 22 years, range--- Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, males behavior is solitary and territorial, some migrate seasonally, concention on international trade in endangered species or wild fauna and flora, and international treaty with more that 144 member countries, humans raising livestock in the same habitat that grevy’s zebra uses this pushes the zebras out of this habitat, poaching is another threat, live in grasslands. Locate where it is endangered (might not be endangered in all its habitats) It is endangered in Nairobi, Kenya and Grevy’s zebra also live in large dry areas in northeast Africa. The other kind of endangered zebra, the mountain zebra, lives in dry areas of south Africa. Identify the factors, environmental and/or anthropogenic (caused by man) that cause it to be endangered Use of zebra skin for fashion was a major problem until 1976 No access to water and loss of grazing habitat because competition with increasing herds of domestic livestock. Unconotrolled tourism-it causes disturbance and destruction of vegitation. Locate at least two zoos and/or conservation centers where the animal is held. San Diego zoo, and Atlanta zoo. Locate where research is done on your animal and where efforts are underway to conserve its population (Note: It may be that this is done at the same location(s) you identified in #3) African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is researching the endangered Grevy’s Zebra. The population status has critical threats on it, AWF and partners of it can develop effective conservation strategies. Also, Dr. Paul Muoria, is better understanding and researching the Grevy’s zebra. With a better understanding of the zebra and know the threats and how to help it, we can get good conservation strategies. Identify the experts, leaders, and/or groups guiding the conservation Dr. Paul Muoria. Outline any research and efforts to conserve the population The local community has to pitch in and help all the endangerment especially in northern Kenya. 1) How are zebras distinguished in species?? 2) Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?? 1) By their stripe patterns. 2) They are white with black stripes.  =~Bibliography (websites) =
