Somali Wild Ass

Somali wild ass almost appears like a zebra, without the stripes on its entire body. If you go on to http://funzoomiami.org/Animals/AllRegions/Mammals/Somalis-Wild-Ass they talk about the wild ass and how it lives. This website also includes where you can find this animal and specific facts.

Somali Wild Ass can be found in Asia and also in East Africa. This mammal lives in desert areas that can go up to about 122 degress. Most of the time you can find this animal in a varitey of places such as grass land, mountain areas, and bushlands. "The Somali’s wild ass is the smallest of the wild equids." The wild ass ressembles the zebra because it has stripes on its legs in the way in which a zebra would have it on their entire body. Due to the Somali's enviornments they usually tend to live alone. They live alone so that they won't have to battle anyone for food and that any food they come across they eat themselves. Like most animals in the desert they try to keep their home around a water source because water is an asscential thing that they need to live. Furthermore, they tend to protect their land from other animals. Although they protect their land once there is a water hole that has been found many times a small heard of somali form. Somali's are very bizzare animals that are very interesting.
