Common Zebra

These were a bit fatter looking than the Grevy Zebra, and to differentiate the two when speaking, we pronounced the common zebra as the English do (with a soft Z like in Zepplin). Part of the "fat" look seems to be because of their stripes, which are wider. Also, their ears are smaller than grevy zebras' ears. Grevy zebra just looked cleaner, neater, and sleeker.
