African Donkey | Equus asinus
The donkey is one of the world’s most common pets. The ancestral form is the African donkey, which originally lives in dry, hilly or mountainous regions, mostly with stony ground. Therefore, donkeys can also climb stony and rough hills. However, they cannot run as fast as horses and can only reach speeds up to 50 km/h.

Chapman’s Zebra | Equus quagga chapmani
There are three types of zebras: Grevy’s zebra, mountain zebra and plains zebra. Chapman’s zebra is a subspecies of the plains zebra and are variably colored. Often, the back half of his torso is rather horizontally striped, the drawing is also seen on the belly and there are often lighter “shadow stripes” available. They live in family groups with a hierarchy. Immediately after the stallion, the lead mare comes with her foals, then the other females come with their young. Although zebras seem to be quite similar to horses, they are different. Zebras do not have strong bones, so they are not suitable for riding. Like horses, zebras are flight animals, reaching up to 50 km/h. Please be attentive, because zebras have very strong teeth, it is seven times stronger than that of a horse!

Lowland Tapir | Tapirus terrestris
Lowland tapirs are light brown to blackish brown. They only have a very thin stubby coat, which is why they can easily get sunburned. If the sun is shining in Serengeti Park, then the Lowland tapirs even get a protective sunscreen from the animal keepers to keep them comfortable. Tapirs can weigh up to 250 kilograms and are 2.5 meters long. They are classified as a vulnerable species on the Red List of endangered species of the World Conservation Union IUCN.
