A photo of a zebra (Equus burchelli) foraging in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Zebras impact the composition of vegetation within the shrubby grassland in which they live. In turn, shortages of water and nutrients in the ecosystem impact the ability of zebras to live in these ecosystems. This photograph originally appeared on the cover of Ecology (84:8) in August of 2003.
