Contender 1: Grevy's Zebra
The Grevy's Zebra, also known as the Imperial Zebra, is a striking and unique species that can be found in the arid regions of Kenya and Ethiopia. It is the largest species of zebra and can reach a height of up to 5 feet at the shoulder and weigh around 900 pounds. Grevy's Zebras have a distinctive appearance with narrow black and white stripes that extend all the way down to their hooves. Unlike other zebras, they have a white belly and a tall, erect mane running from their head down their back.
Fun Fact: Grevy's Zebras have an incredible ability to survive without water for extended periods of time, as they can obtain most of their moisture from the vegetation they eat.
Contender 2: African Elephant
The African Elephant, also known as the savanna elephant, is the largest land animal on Earth, weighing up to 14,000 pounds and standing up to 13 feet tall at the shoulder. They have a distinctive trunk, which they use for breathing, smelling, drinking, and grasping objects, as well as large ears that help regulate their body temperature. African Elephants are herbivores and can consume up to 300 pounds of vegetation in a single day.
Fun Fact: African Elephants have a unique way of communicating with each other that humans cannot hear - they use infrasonic sounds that can travel up to 6 miles away!
