Mountain zebras are native to Angola, Namibia, and West Africa and live in arid, stony, and, of course, mountainous areas. They are herbivores, meaning that they don't eat meat. Instead, they eat grass, bark, leaves from trees, and roots. They can smell water beneath the ground and will often dig for access to the water.
A mountain zebra's teeth continue to grow throughout its life, which is an evolutionary by-product of the fact that they spend so much time chewing on hard, dry food. They use their front teeth to cut the grasses, bark, leaves, or roots, and their back teeth to then grind, or chew, the food.
The mountain zebra is now an endangered species, in part because of a growing livestock industry in their native habitats, which means that they face ever increasing competition for scarce resources.
