Perhaps the most interesting fact about zebras is their stripes.
What many people do not know is that the stripes of the zebra are unique to each individual. They are kind of like fingerprints on a human being. But to survive in an environment where there is an abundance of large predators including lions, cheetahs and hyenas, the zebra evolved into a particularly alert, responsive animal that flees in the face of danger but also possesses a powerful response if captured.
They can be savage biters and possess a ' ducking' reflex that helps them avoid being caught by lasso. Familiarity with human hunter-gatherers may also have fostered a strong avoidance response in the zebra. All of this means that zebra are not really "people friendly" and as a species they do not fit the criteria for domestication.
According to the English explorer and polymath Francis Galton a relative of Charles Darwin , these requirements include displaying a desire for comfort, being easy to tend, being useful and showing a fondness for man. Galton uses the zebra as an example of an unmanageable species, stating that the Dutch Boers repeatedly tried to break zebra to harness.
Although they had some success, the wild, mulish nature of the animals would frequently break out and thwart their efforts. Although it appears possible to tame individual zebra, this species was not a good candidate for domestication. The frustration is enough to quickly drive newcomers away. For the few diehard breeders, such as Cox and Gilbert, there's something about the novelty of raising an animal most people only see on television or in a zoo.
The movie "Racing Stripes," about a zebra who believes he's a racehorse and runs with the thoroughbreds, also prompted some interest, although not always from the right people. You can't keep him in a stable.
You almost have to work them every day. Gilbert sells to petting zoos or people who want a zebra. He warns buyers that they're not getting a striped pony they can keep in the backyard.
