How do zebras drink water?

Zebras can drink water for a few days if they are very thirsty. The reason they drink the water so quickly is because the zebra's kidneys and liver have a very fast metabolism, so water just goes to waste after a few days.

Zebra behavior and conservation Zebra conservation is one of the most important topics of conservation, because zebras are a very rare species and the numbers have been dwindling rapidly. Today, it's difficult to find any zebra anywhere in the world, even in zebra habitat in Africa and Asia.

Zebra populations are thought to number approximately 1 million in the wild, some researchers believe the current population of 20, 000 is even lower. In the wild, they are often seen as being gentle and peaceful on the habitat they are in, and they are the only animals capable of breeding successfully in zebra habitats.

In the wild, zebras will try to protect their eggs and offspring from any potential threats, like predators. The first known occurrence of captive breeding occurred in the 1960s in India when a male and female were sent there from Switzerland.

In the following decades, many zebra- breeding facilities were started around the world and the wild population slowly dwindled until it reached a tiny fraction of its former size as recently as 1995 (between 5, 000 and 7, 000) .
