Like horses, zebras walk, trot, canter and gallop. They are generally slower than horses, but their great stamina helps them outpace predators. When chased, a zebra will zig-zag from side to side, making it more difficult for the predator. When cornered, the zebra will rear up and kick or bite its attacker.

Zebras can run at 35-40 mph. They have great stamina. Lions can run 30-36 mph, but have no stamina. They can reach 50mph in short bursts. It takes more than one lioness to kill an adult zebra. This is a foal, not full grown. But there is only one lioness and the zebra has a head start. The cubs gave away their position. The cubs canâ??t help with the hunt. So, the zebra escapes. So with the zebras head start, the lioness can only gain 10 mph at top speed or a mile every six minutes. And she canâ??t maintain top speed long enough to catch the zebra.
