The phrase "african zebra" is not correct in written English as it should be capitalized as "African zebra." You can use it when referring to a specific species of zebra native to Africa, particularly in a zoological or ecological context.
Example: "The African zebra is known for its distinctive black and white stripes, which help it blend into the grasslands."
Alternatives: "African equid" or "zebra from Africa."
And what connects the set of remade Bauhaus chess pieces, carved in banned African zebra-wood (originally designed by Josef Hartwig) and clustered in a little heap on the gallery floor, with the inch-thick, 60 kilo slabs of laminated blue-wash backed flyposting paper, all glued together with wallpaper paste and sagging from the gallery walls?
Tufted sofas in buttery chestnut leather... a mirrored armoire with burled walnut doors... African sculpture... zebra rugs scattered here and there...golden sconces and chandeliers...leopard fabric pillows bound in black silk... and, across from the rose marble and mahogany fireplace, the piece de resistance framed above the king size bed: a five foot tall nude.
This study reports an improved assembly of the Lake Malawi African cichlid, M. zebra.
We previously analyzed an F2 hybrid cross that suggested only a small number of genes underlie pigmentation differences between two Lake Malawi African cichlids, Metriaclima zebra and M. mbenjii[ 19].
Zebras and the true wild ass (Equus asinus) are African, with the zebras confined to the southern and eastern parts, while the ass originally ranged over northern and northeastern Africa.
For example, losing certain patterns of colours can bring definite advantages to escape predators, such as the stripes of the African ancestor of zebras and horses.
Other well-known large African herbivores include the zebra, giraffe, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and African elephant.
Diane Von Furstenberg's psychedelic zebra prints, African florals and lacy macramé gave a sophisticated ethnic touch to the hot-but-calm collection that the designer named "Oasis".
In the African savannas, the plains zebra is a pioneer grazer; mowing down the upper, less nutritious grass canopy and preparing the way for more specialized grazers like blue wildebeests and Thomson's gazelles which depend on shorter and more nutritious grasses below.
We set out to improve the draft genome assembly of the African cichlid fish, Metriaclima zebra, using a set of Pacific Biosciences SMRT sequencing reads corresponding to 16.5× coverage of the genome.
