Grazers!

Zebras are predominantly feeding on grass, but occasionally browse on trees. Herbivores (animals, which only consume plants material) are either grazers (mostly eating grass), browsers (mostly eating tree material), and mixed feeders (eating both).

It is interesting to observe the order in which grazers feed in area. Cape Buffalo (considered bulk feeders) will move into an area with tall, fibrous grass. Once they have shortened it, Zebras will move in and cut the grass further. At the end Wildebeest will eat the very short left-overs (fresh shoots).

The Zebra in this image moved through a tree line, Knob-thorn feeding on the grass in between the trees.
