The unique stripes of the Chapman's zebra. Chapman's zebras are single-hoofed mammals that are a part of the odd-toed ungulate order.

Cape mountain zebra and young. Like all zebra species, the Cape mountain zebra has a characteristic black and white striping pattern on its pelage, unique to individuals. As with other mountain zebras, it is medium-sized, thinner with narrower hooves than the common plains zebra, and has a white belly like the Grévy's zebra.
The stripes are narrow and close-set, broader on the neck, and extending to the hooves.
