If another member of the family is not available to do the grooming, the itchy zebras find relief by rolling in the dust or rubbing their bodies against a tree, termite mound, or other stationary object.
Ja kādā brīdī starp ģimenes locekļiem nav neviena, kas zebru varētu uzpost, viņa izvārtās zemē vai paberž niezošos sānus gar koku, termītu pauguru vai kādu citu nekustīgu priekšmetu.
