Summary of Why Do We Ride Horses But Not Zebras?

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

This episode of SciShow explains why we can't ride zebras, even though they may look similar to horses. Zebras are actually descendants of horses and have evolved to be more aggressive and flighty than horses. Humans and zebras have a complicated relationship because humans have often eaten zebras, and zebras have a natural fly repellent. Despite these differences, zebras are not well-suited for riding, as they are smaller and less strong than horses, and their necks are thick.
