actually had a painted horse, not a real zebra.

to get a zebra, once in a while, to let you ride it,

brethren in the wild by human intervention.

Domestication means we've taken a wild species

through that lens, it's kind of not that surprising

that we don't have more domesticated species.

All domesticated animals, including the big five

that we humans have really come to depend on:

have six main things in common, as pointed out

by Jared Diamond, who's the author of a number

of cool books, including Guns, Germs, and Steel.

They aren't picky eaters, which means that

the average human can go out and get food

They have a social hierarchy, which means that

a human can step in as the leader of the group.

a bunch of them as quickly as you need them

kind of important when you have something

they have a pleasant disposition, which means

they won't attack you every time you go in

But, if just one of these factors is missing,

do not match these criteria in a lot of ways.

But you can't blame zebras for their stripes.

See, zebras evolved on the African plains

and they evolved as a food source for lions.

Zebras don't want to be a food source for lions,

so since they have to fend off these apex predators

very aggressive and to kick really, really hard.

In fact, a zebra can kick a lion to death.
