wild zebra

Untamed African equine

A wild zebra is a zebra living in its natural habitat rather than in captivity.

The phrase distinguishes free-roaming zebras on African savannas and grasslands from those in zoos or wildlife parks: We saw wild zebras during our safari.

Since zebras haven't been domesticated like horses, nearly all zebras outside captivity are wild by default.
