サバンナシマウマ

noun

plains zebra

Refers specifically to Equus quagga, the most common species of zebra. In everyday Japanese, simply シマウマ often covers zebras in general, but this term is used when distinguishing the plains zebra from other species like the mountain zebra.

• サバンナシマウマはアフリカの草そう原げんに生せい息そくしている。

  The plains zebra inhabits the grasslands of Africa.

• 動どう物ぶつ園えんでサバンナシマウマの群むれを見みた。
