||Contest|| "My Art My Creativity Week 24

Hi Steemians, how are you, your family and your work today? I hope everything is fine. Today, I have drawn a Zebra, and I shall be presenting the step-by-step process of the drawing. I appreciate @shahariar1 for organising the contest.

A zebra is an African wild animal which looks like a horse. It has black and white lines on its body, and some have brown and black lines instead. Their black and white lines serve as a kind of protection from predators. Predators like lion finds it hard to prey on one zebra when they are grouped, because of the black and white lines on their body. Zebra are herbivores animal which means they feed or graze on grasses.

There are three living species of Zebra namely:

• The Grévy's zebra.
• The plains zebra.
• The mountain zebra.

• Zebras can live for approximately 20 years in the wild and up to 40 years in zoos.
• They have a powerful kick that can cause injury
• Zebras communicate with one another with facial expressions and sounds.
