Zebra!!! :D

Well, this week I was hanging out with some friends and the question "out of all the animals in the world which would you want as a pet" came up! (NOT including dog, cat, horse, or fish) Some of the answers were cool like lion, tiger, panda bear, and flamingo... OTHERS answers were a little strange like dinosaur, puffer fish, and Kevin (bird from the Disney movie UP). It took me a little while to decide on just ONE animal as I am a HUGE animal fan, but I finally came up with the answer I had been looking for...ZEBRA like a horse BUT not a horse! Then I thought "WAIT is a Zebra REALLY that similar to a horse???" So, I looked up some facts to prove that Zebras and Horses maybe AREN'T as similar as we thought they were! Here are the 4 main differences....

                           Zebra-                                                            Horse-    
1. A zebra body is short and stocky                     1.  The majority of horse bodies are tall & slender
2. A zebra has a SOLID tail                                 2.  A horse has a tail made TOTALLY out of hair
3. A zebra has a white body w/black stripes   3. Horse coloring varies but never same as zebras
4. A zebra in captivity is rarely trained to ride   4. Horses are EASILY trained to be ridden
