Cape mountain zebra
The Cape mountain zebra differs slightly from the Hartmann's subspecies, being stockier and having longer ears and a larger dewlap. Adults have a shoulder height of 116 to 128  cm, making them the most lightly built subspecies of zebra. There is slight sexual dimorphism with mares having a mass of around 234  kg and stallions weighing around 250–260  kg.
Zebra
There are three species of zebras: the plains zebra, the mountain zebra and the Grévy's zebra. The plains zebra and the mountain zebra belong to the subgenus "Hippotigris", while Grévy's zebra is the sole species of subgenus "Dolichohippus". The latter resembles an ass, to which zebras are closely related, while the former two look more horse-like. All three belong to the genus "Equus", along with other living equids.
