They have night vision and their sense of smell is very sensitive to smoke. Zebras also have a good sense of taste and can trot and gallop like horses do. These animals are considered sociable, though they have never been domesticated. Horses are mammals. They are fed with grass. They have great poise, long arched necks and a long flowing mane.
