Hartmann's mountain zebra


The Hartmann's mountain zebra is a subspecies of the mountain zebra found in far south-western Angola and western Namibia.
Hartmann's mountain zebras prefer to live in small groups of 7-12 individuals. They are agile climbers and are able to live in arid conditions and steep mountainous country.
It has been argued that Hartmann's mountain zebra should be considered a separate species from the Cape mountain zebra, but this is not supported by genetic evidence . Consequently, it is no longer considered a separate species in Mammal Species of the World. 2005.
