Getting the zebra is only half of the problem; the other half is figuring out a perfect name for it. You will find below over 200 great names for zebras, compiled into different lists. I can’t see any scenario in which you would leave this article without the perfect name for your pet zebra.
First off, I have to tell you that if you’re one of the people that actually get to that point in which they are the lucky owners of a zebra, then that’s amazing! Most people stick to normal pets like cats, dogs, or birds, but there is a handful that would enjoy petting a zebra all day long.
Zebras come from the same family as horses and they are in fact pretty social animals. You surely know about the unique pattern on their bodies, the well-known black, and white stripes, so I won’t get too much into detail. I would like to add, though, that there is basically no difference in terms of this pattern between female and male zebras.
There are three known species of zebra, and those are:
- Grevy’s Zebra
- Mountain zebra and
- Plain zebra
