Plains Zebras give birth to one young after a gestation period of twelve months. Females generally stay near their groups when giving birth. When the foal is strong enough to move about, the mother and foal rejoin the group. Foals nurse for about six months, but begin feeding on grass by about one month of age. Females become sexually mature between two and three years of age, but often cycle without conceiving for the first year. Males generally only begin maintaining harems at five years of age.

Because Plains Zebras are restricted to habitats where food and water are in close proximity, females of different reproductive classes can stay together. As a result, females, regardless of reproductive state, form groups and associate with a single male, who keeps away marauding males. By reducing sexual harassment, stallions provide females with a valuable material reward— increased foraging time. As in feral horses, females that associate with high-ranking males, or males rising rapidly in rank, can feed for up to six minutes longer per hour than females associating with less able males. Since Plains Zebras feed for up to 20 hours per day, females associating with the best males typically gain an additional two hours of foraging per day, thus increasing their fitness. Plains

associations are often large, consisting of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals. Since these herds include both harem and bachelor male groups, Plains Zebras live in the most complex societies of all equids. Herd size varies. It depends directly on the abundance of vegetation, but also on the strength of a social factor—the degree of cuckolding pressure exerted by bachelor males. When vegetation is abundant, groups tend to be large. But the largest herds form when bachelor groups are large. By banding together, breeding stallions amortize costs and collectively dominate large bachelor associations. For females, harassment reduction helps maximize foraging. Apparently females find life in herds no different from life in isolated and unchallenged harems, thus permitting herds to form. Many Plains
<taxonomicName id="4C192FB5E8145861F93FA6C7EC66F2D0" box="[1764,1845,3302,3335]" class="Mammalia" family="Equidae" genus="Zebra" higherTaxonomySource="GBIF" kingdom="Animalia" order="Perissodactyla" pageId="4" pageNumber="141" phylum="Chordata" rank="genus">Zebra</taxonomicName>
populations are seasonally migratory, traveling hundreds of kilometers as they track vegetation flushes induced by predictable seasonal shifts in rainfall. Others stay put when the migrants leave, suggesting that these strategies are alternative solutions, shaped by trade-offs between vegetation quality and quantity. At any one locale, migratory or resident populations also exhibit local movements among landscape zones. During the rains, Plains Zebras graze on hilltops where vegetation productivity is high and good visibility increases safety from predators. When the rains cease and grasses stop growing, the zebras seek habitats where food is more abundant, because of dietary demands associated with their relatively large body size. They move to valleys and basins where grass is abundant, even though it is fibrous and of low quality. Their grazing transforms these habitats. Residual moisture and increased light penetration induces vegetation growth, which benefits the zebras as well as wildebeest (Connochaetes spp.) and Thompson's gazelles (Eudorcas spp.). As ruminants, these species require higher-quality vegetation than zebras. It is their good fortune that by the time they are forced to leave the hilltops, high-quality vegetation in the valleys is abundant enough to sustain them. Thus Plains Zebras play an important role as engineers stabilizing herbivore communities.

suggests a population decline of approximately 20% from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s. Elsewhere, Grants Zebras and the other subspecies are faring less well. Civil strife in many countries has led to widespread poaching. Continued habitat conversion to agriculture and loss due to development isolate and threaten the demographic and genetic integrity of small populations. In the past Plains Zebras have shown resilience and an ability to bounce back quickly from population reductions. With the establishment of effective management, protection, and monitoring, most Plains
