Today, we're going to draw one of the most stylish animals in the whole animal kingdom – zebras! Zebras are horses with a difference, because they wear their pajamas on the outside. Their pajamas are actually their fur, which is black and white stripes! How cool is that?

Zebras live in Africa, where it's sunny and warm. They like to live in big families with other zebra friends, just like you have a family with your mom, dad, and maybe some siblings. These families are called herds. They like to hang out together, play, and look out for each other.

Did you know that zebras are very good at running? They have long, strong legs that help them run really fast, just like when you run in the playground. They can run as fast as a car goes on the highway! They need to be fast because sometimes they have to escape from big, hungry animals that want to eat them.

Zebras are also very good at communicating. They use different sounds to talk to each other, like neighing (which is like a horse saying "hello"), and they also use body language. If a zebra feels scared or wants to warn its friends about danger, it will show the white part of its tail. That's their way of saying, "Hey, be careful!"

The stripes on a zebra are special because each zebra has a different pattern, just like your fingerprints. No two zebras have the exact same stripes, and some scientists think that these stripes help keep away biting flies, which don't like the look of them.

Zebras are also very tall, like the giraffes, and they like to eat grass, just like cows. But they don't just eat any grass; they like to eat the yummiest, greenest grass they can find. Let's follow the step-by-step instructions and learn how to draw a zebra's head!
