ZEBRA:

Gaits

Zebras have four gaits: walk, trot, canter and gallop. They are generally slower than horses, but their
great stamina helps them outrun predators. When chased, a zebra will zig-zag from side to side,
making it more difficult for the predator to attack. When cornered, the zebra will rear up and kick or
bite its attacker.

Senses

Zebras have excellent eyesight. It is believed that they can see in color.[citation needed] Like most ungulates,
the zebra's eyes are on the sides of its head, giving it a wide field of view. Zebras also have night
vision, although not as advanced as that of most of their predators.[citation needed]

Zebras have excellent hearing and have larger, rounder ears than horses; like other ungulates,
zebras can turn their ears in almost any direction. In addition to superb eyesight and hearing, zebras
also have acute senses of smell and taste.
