Why don't people ride zebras?

September 16, 2009

Throughout the years, people have certainly tried to tame zebras in order to be able to ride them like horses. However, zebras are wild animals through and through, and do not take well to domestication attempts. While a few zebras have been successfully tamed, the majority are too skittish and unpredicatable in temperment and behavior to be safely ridden. In particular, zebras show a tendency to attack humans. Not the ideal mode of transportation! If you must ride a zebra, we recommend sticking to those on carousels.
