At the school of life
The plains zebra is highly social and usually forms small family groups called harems, which consist of a single stallion, several mares and their recent offspring.
Early on, a mother zebra keeps any other zebra away from her foal, including the stallion, the other mares, and even her previous offspring. Later, though, they all bond. Within the group, a foal has the same rank as its mother.
