A Grevy's zebra stands in profile facing left on sandy ground, its long shadow stretching across the enclosure. A wire fence and slender trees with foliage rise behind it, placing the animal in a zoo or animal park. The caption identifies the species and its African range. Grevy's zebras, the largest of the wild equids, are native to the dry scrub and grasslands of Ethiopia and northern Kenya, and the species is named for Jules Grévy, the French president who received one as a gift in the 1880s.
