The females within a family observe a strict hierarchical system. A dominant africsn mare always leads the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their foals directly behind them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last in line. Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside the system and has no special place in the line. Zebras are avid grazers. Both Burchell''s and lion and africsn Grevy''s zebras are in constant search of green pastures.
