    Zebras are not very powerful, and humans have not tamed zebras until now because animal taming is based on two aspects, one is that it is easy to domesticate, and the other is that humans have needs, and domesticating horses is actually a process of genetic selection, which requires a long time and countless generations of accumulation to get a docile zebra.

    Zebras live in the African savannah, there are too many large carnivores, and the evolution is too alert and has been deeply engraved in the genes of zebras, and it is difficult to capture and domesticate, and Europeans have tried to domesticate many times after entering Africa but failed.

    Not all animals can be domesticated, and there are actually very few animals that humans can domesticate, that is, pigs, cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, ducks, etc., who are not angry, and are willing to follow humans to eat and wait for death.

    Some people say that the circus is not domesticated by any animal? Tigers, poions, dogs, bears, elephants, ......That's called taming. It's easy to tame, but it's not the same thing as domestication.

    For an animal to be domesticated, several conditions need to be met:

    First, you can't be too smart. After all, people domesticate animals to make them cows and horses, drink their blood and eat their meat, it's too smart to do, you go and domesticate a monkey, chimpanzee, gorilla to try, and put you together every minute.

    Second, you can't be too wild. Some animals have wild properties to remove, some can't be removed, like the zebra that the subject said belongs to the wild can't be removed, especially when it comes to love, even the lion dares to bite, who do you say can do it?

    Third, we should not be too timid and sensitive, and be more adaptable to environmental changes. When I was a child, I caught a sparrow, I wanted to make it my pet, the adults said that the sparrow can't keep a family, I eat and drink to serve it, but it is depressed all day long, tea and dinner, and it dies in a few days.

    The zebra is similar, with a rather sensitive personality, and if you forcibly catch it and lock it up, the only thing it wants to do is escape. You put a lot of effort into it, and in the end it didn't end up being good.

    In addition, people domesticate animals, or from an economic point of view, so the domesticated are generally herbivores or omnivores, carnivores are not, you go to domesticate a tiger and lion, it has not eaten enough, you have already gone bankrupt.

    The domestication of animals is spontaneous in the long-term labor practice of human beings, and only people who do what is beneficial to human beings will do itThere are thousands of animals in nature, and few of them have been domesticated, some of which cannot be domesticated, and some of which are not necessary to be domesticated.

    Because zebras were better adapted to African diseases than horses, European colonists tried to tame zebras instead of horses for riding and pulling carts. However, due to the difficult nature of zebras, they are easily frightened under pressure, and most of them fail to tame zebras. As a result, most of the zebras that can be successfully tamed by humans are hybrid zebras (crossbreeds of zebras with other equine animals such as horses and donkeys), rather than natural purebred zebras.
