BurckeHV Zebra. 



Burchell's Zebra is a tenant of the plains of So ithei a Africa. It is strong and muscular, and admits of 

 being tamed to a certain extent with facility. Naturalists have noticed the remarkable fact that this species, 

 as well as the Quagga, is often seen in peaceful c »mpaay with the ostrich. It may be distinguished from 

 the Zebra of the mountains, by the shortness of its ears, and also by the absence of stripes on the limbs 

 and under surface of the body. When flying in tioops before the hunter, these animals are said to present 

 a beautiful appearance. The engraving above represents the spearing of one of Burchell's Zebras by a
