Zebras are plan eaters. The preferred forage is Aristida spp., Chrysopogonplumulosus, Dactyloctenium schindicum, Digitaria sp., Lasiurus scindicusand Sporobolus iocladus. Zebras are well adapted to eat herbs, have high-strength teeth, are very resistant, and the digestive system is very effective at extracting nutrients from grasses.
