Grant's Zebra (Equus burchelli) is the smallest of six subspecies of the Plains Zebra. It resembles a horse, but is smaller. It doesn't sound like a horse, however, and "barks" instead of neighs. Its height is about 50 inches from shoulder to hoof, and weighs in at 500 to 600 pounds. It has rather short legs and a large head. The zebra has black and white stripes, a black nose, and black hooves. Zebra’s stripes are an excellent camouflage because lions (the zebra’s main predator) are believed to be color blind. Confusion is another defense mechanism. Zebras cluster together to confuse would-be predators with their stripes when they feel threatened.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
