Largest wild equid

Standing 140–160 centimetres (4 feet 7 inches–5 feet 2 inches) tall at the shoulder and weighing 350–450 kilograms (771–992 pounds), the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi) is the largest wild member of the horse family. Found only on the plains and scrubland of Kenya and Ethiopia and with a population of around 2,680 individuals (as of 2016), it's also the most endangered species of zebra.

Also known as the imperial zebra, this species was named after French president François Paul Jules Grévy (1807–91).

Its range formerly covered a lot more of East Africa, but this species is now considered extirpated in Djibouti and Somalia, while its presence in South Sudan is unknown.

Other physical characteristics that distinguish it from other zebra species are thinner, more closely set stripes, a white belly and large, rounded ears.
