  • Have you ever seen zebras fight? 🦓💥 

Turns out, these striped beauties aren’t always so peaceful. Male zebras fight for dominance and mating rights, using powerful bites and kicks to assert control. Their fights can look intense — and they are. 

A zebra’s bite can crush with a force strong enough to break skin and even cause serious injury. It’s all about survival and securing their place in the herd. Nature isn’t just beautiful — it’s fierce, raw, and real. 💥
