The mountain zebra lives in mountainous regions of South Africa. It has black-and-white stripes, a grid pattern on the rump, and a skin fold on the neck.
The mountain zebra differs from the plains zebra by the grid pattern on the rump and the skin fold on the neck. It is important for nature because it helps preserve the plants of mountain meadows and serves as food for large predators.
