This is a dumb question, but I can't find the answer.

Appearinly the main differences between horses and Zebra are that zebra have stripes and their hooves....I'm interested to know how the hooves are different. Can someone explain?

I can't find any info about the difference in hooves. I know they're both odd-toed ungulates. Where did you find this information?

Zebras vocalize very differently than horses do, that's always been the most apparent difference to me.

Zebras are a member of the genus Equus, but they are in the subgenus Hippotigris.

I wish I could have been more helpful, I'll keep looking.
