Hartmanns mountain zebra

Equus zebra hartmannae

Hartmann's mountain zebra is a subspecies of the mountain zebra found in far south-western Angola and western Namibia.
Hartmann's mountain zebras prefer to live in small groups of 7-12 individuals. They are agile climbers and are able to live in arid conditions and steep mountainous country.

It has been argued that Hartmann's mountain zebra should be considered a separate species from the Cape mountain zebra, but this is not supported by genetic evidence ''''. Consequently, it is considered a subspecies in ''Mammal Species of the World''.
