Grevy's Zebra

The Grevy's Zebra is is the largest of the three species. The survival of the Grevy's Zebra is very slim because people hunt down the Zebra's for their fur. The are mostly found in Somaila, Kenya. The grevy's zebra's main source of food is grasses, shrubs, and any types of grasses. The Grevy's Zebra's habitat is lives in semi-arid bush/grass mosaics with a preference for tracts of grassland growing on deep sand. The physical description of the zebra is all equids, long-lived animals that move quickly for their large size and have teeth built for grinding and cropping grass. The Zebra's behavior is depended on other Grevy's Zebra's. Their diet is able to eat both short yound shoots and long flowering grasses. Grevy's Zebras usually reproduce in August, September, and October. The usually reproduce foals during the rainy seasons.they were added to the endangered species lis in 1882. The estimated population of Grevy's Zebra is around 27,000 and 47,000 zebras. The reasons for the decline in numbers of the Zebra's are people that are hunting for their fur. Poachers are threatening Zebra's with extinction, also the access to water is causing problems for the Zebra's. There is only one question to save Zebras: Is there any way to save them. Researchers say that due to Zebra's dying the population have gone from 15,000 to less then 2,000. The only thing we can probably do to help save Zebra's are to stop hunting them for their fur. The endangered species act is a US law that was passes in 1973 to protect species from extinction due to the economic growth and development concern and conservation. The purpose of the endangered species act was to protect and recover animal and plant species whose populations are in dangerous decline or close to extinction. The history of the act was it was inspired by the plight of the Crane. When Congress passed it the act almost passed a completely rewritten Endangered Species Act. The amendment I would make to the Act would be the act of cruelty and extinction because of how many poachers make animals extinct due to them hunting the animals and killing them.
