         zebra is nearly white, and the bands which cover the
         body and legs are glossy black. its tail has a tuft of
         black hair at the tip. it inhabits the mountains of
         central and southern africa, and is noted for its
         wariness and wildness, as well as for its swiftness.
         the second species equus burchellii syn. asinus
         burchellii or equus quagga, known as burchell's
         zebra, plains zebra, and dauw, is the most
         abundant, inhabiting the grassy plains of tropical and
         southern africa, and differing from the preceding in
         not having dark bands on the legs, while those on the
         body are more irregular. it has a long tail, covered
         with long white flowing hair. grevy's zebra equus
         grevyi is distinct from the others in being placed in
         the subgenus dolichohippus, whereas the plains and
         mountain zebras are placed in the subgenus hippotigris.
