Habitat: Mountainous grasslands in Namibia and Angola
The Hartmann'S Mountain Zebra has a striking pattern of narrow black stripes on a white or cream body, with a distinctive 'grid-iron' design on its rump. Unlike other zebras, it features a unique dewlap under its chin and no stripes on its pure white belly.
