    Hello Jlyn, welcome to JungleDragon.
    Have you by chance made note of the Zebra Specie ID in the Zoo?
    There are three zebra species and I'd say this one is Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, based on the a bit elongated head and brownish muzzle. Do you have other photos of this zebra to upload?     Posted 8 years ago

      Based on some general searching on zebras in that zoo, I'd say you're right about the Grévy's zebra. Posted 8 years ago

The Grévys zebra

The Grévy's zebra , also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest extant wild equid and the largest and most endangered of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is the sole extant member of the subgenus ''Dolichohippus''. The Grévy's zebra is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.

The Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands.. more
