Here's a breakdown of their diet:
* Grasses: This makes up the majority of their diet, including various types of grasses like short grasses, tall grasses, and even dry grasses.
* Forbs: These are broad-leaved herbs that are not grasses, and zebras will eat them occasionally as a supplement to their grass diet.
* Twigs and leaves: They may nibble on these, especially during the dry season when grasses are scarce.
* Fruits: They are known to eat fruits if available, but they are not a primary part of their diet.
Zebras have specialized teeth adapted for grinding grasses. They have a large digestive system to break down the tough cellulose in grasses, aided by symbiotic bacteria in their gut.
