Zebra

Zebras have long, graceful necks and ossicones. Their black-and-white striped coats stand out beautifully against the landscape, their necks craning high above the grasslands and underbrush as they feed on the tall grasses and low trees. Their ability to reach higher foliage and feed on the treetops makes them somewhat of a blend between grazers and browsers.

The zebras’ ossicones are not just for display but have evolved to help with intraspecies combat - when males spar for territory or mates, they engage in a form of headbutting, swinging their long necks to deliver blows. Their long necks also allow them to keep a lookout for predators from high vantage points, making them agile both on the ground and among the treetops.
