Zebra - I suspect we all know it is a stripy wild horse that lives in Africa and its stripes are
a remarkable camourflage considering nothing in the background is either black or white.
There are two main type of Zebra in Africa, Burkells and Hartmann's one is plains and the other a mountain Zebra.
zebra fish - apart from it being a species of wild fish it is also a hot research tool in Genetic
research because they are a vertebrate and breed quickly.

Zygospore.....A zygospore is a special type of chlamydospore arising from sexual conjugation between two fungi. In addition to being thick-walled and darkly colored, a zygospore is usually heavily ornamented as well, with many spines or ridges. It is formed between two specialized organs called suspensors, which are themselves usually heavily ornamented, one from each mating partner. The zygospore forms between them and then breaks away. Zygospores give their name to an entire phylum of the kingdom of fungi, the Zygomycota. Zygospore formation was the first activity to be used as evidence for sexuality in fungi.
