Le haut de sa queue est ornée d'un motif à petites rayures symétriques, qui permet de l'identifier aisément lorsqu'il est vu de la croupe. L'une des sous-espèces, Equus zebra zebra, vit en République sud-africaine dans les montagnes centrales de la province du Cap, l'autre, Equus hartmannae, le zèbre de Hartmann, se trouve en Angola et en Namibie.
