CHAPMAN'S ZEBRAS.

These zebra have for some years been running loose in the park at Woburn Abbey.

The tail is long, and carried upright as the animal leaps. The head and body are nearly 2 feet long, and the tail 20 inches. It is found both in the plains and mountains of South Africa, where it makes deep burrows, in which several families live. It is mainly nocturnal.
