Zebras - Disney Animals

Native to Sub-Saharan African, zebras can be found in shrublands, savannas, mountains and plains. Some species participate in one of the world’s largest animal migrations each year, traveling across the Serengeti—an African superhighway for thousands of animals in search of better grazing.

You may see a dazzle (herd) of zebras on Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail and Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park and on the lush savannas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Using cutting-edge research and knowledge of the zebra’s natural history, Disney animal care experts keep our herds happy.

Here’s a look inside the life of a zebra at Walt Disney World Resort:

• Graze for Days: Our zebras enjoy a diet rich in fresh vegetation, similar to what they’d eat in the wild. Special snacks are placed throughout the habitat to encourage the zebras to forage and graze.
• 
  
• Enriching Experiences: New scents and objects are introduced to the habitat—a way to encourage the zebras to investigate.
• 
  
• Healthy Actions: Favorite foods are used to encourage the zebras to practice hoof-health behaviors and participate in physical screenings. They’re even trained to stand on a scale!

The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature together as a global community. The Disney Conservation Fund* supports nonprofit organizations working with communities to monitor zebra populations, collect valuable data, reduce poaching, and restore habitats and resources for people and zebras.
