Zebras need a lot of water. They've been known to drink up to a gallon of water at one time! Wild zebras can actually survive up to five days without water. During the dry season in Africa when there is little rain, zebras will migrate, or travel to follow the rains.

Zebras also need to stay within close proximity of water as they need to drink exactly once a day (ADW, 2013). Adult Zebras may go 2-3 days without water but foals and lactating mares must drink daily.
