    Hi, I am Shirley, from Texas, USA. I am interested in Zebra and Pere David's Deer. I live in a game fenced, gated community that have Zebra, Pere David's, Black Buck Antelope, Fallow Deer and Axis Deer that roam free within the community. We have a Wildlife Management program in place that volunteers (like me) over see. It is a joy to work with these wonderful animals.

    Hello I'm also from Texas. What part of Texas are you from? (I live around Dallas:D).

    Hello d1, We live about 12 miles south of Athens Texas on a 1,700 acre ranch. It is a small private community with 3 fishing lakes, and many animals that roam free.

    Do you have any issues with zebras attacking the young of other species?

    Yes you will if the colt is not the stallion's offspring.

    This answer is within zebra species.
    In other species. No. We have had some mean stallions but I have not seen any of them kill other species.

    What species of zebra do you have? Some zebra species are more aggressive than others.
