Playing Zebras in Burgers Safari, a part of Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
The  Grant's Zebra (Equus quagga boehmi) is the smallest of six subspecies of the Plains Zebra. The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchelli), also known as the Common Zebra or the Burchell's Zebra, is the most common and geographically widespread form of zebra. It once ranged from the south of Ethiopia right through east Africa as far south as Angola and eastern South Africa.
The Plains Zebra is mid-sized and thick bodied with relatively short legs, and are white with black stripes. Adults of both sexes stand about 1.4 meters high at the shoulder, are approximately 2.3 meters long, and weigh up to 300 kg however males may weigh 10% more than females.

Baldadig spelende zebra's in Burgers Safari
De grant- of böhmzebra (Equus quagga boehmi) is een van de zes ondersoorten van de steppezebra of gewone zebra (Equus quagga, voorheen Equus burchelli), de meest algemene zebrasoort.  
De steppezebra leeft op de open graslanden, savannes, steppen en bossavannes van zuidelijk en oostelijk Afrika, zowel op vlakten als in heuvelachtige streken en in bergen. De steppezebra is een middelgroot, gespierd paard met grote oren. Bij de steppezebra lopen de strepen door op de buik, bij andere soorten is de buik wit. 
Volwassen dieren hebben een kop-romplengte van 217 tot 246 cm lang en een schofthoogte van 127 tot 140 cm. De staart is 47 tot 57 cm lang. Mannetjes zijn groter dan vrouwtjes. Vrouwtjes worden 175 tot 250 kg zwaar, mannetjes 220 tot 320 kg zwaar.
Er leven ruim 30 grantzebra's in 5 harems in Burgers Safari. Dit is de grootste kudde zebra's in een dierenpark in Europa. Een harem bestaat uit één hengst met 4 tot 7 merries en hun veulens.
Burgers Safari maakt met een oppervlakte van 11 hectare circa 25% van de totale oppervlakte (45 hectare) van Burgers Zoo uit.
