There are currently three living zebra species: the Grévy’s zebra (imperial zebra), the mountain zebra, and the plains zebra. International Zebra Day helps raise awareness. The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, lists Grévy’s zebras as endangered, mountain zebras as vulnerable, and plains zebras as near threatened.
