The plains zebra is the only zebra - the others being Grevy's zebra (E. grevyi) and mountain zebra (E. zebra) - which is not endangered. some 200,000 are on a never-ending migration, making a 480km clockwise circuit of the Serengeti and Masai Mara National Parks in East Africa as the seasons dictate the grazing.
