FROM A ZEBRA OWNER WHO PURCHASED IN KENTUCKY:
Of course you can buy and own zebras in the U.S. However, there are various types of zebras and if you choose the endangered ones, you will have to get special permits to own and move them. However, the Plains zebras, Grant's, Damara's (or Damaraland) and Chapman's, are not endangered and can be purchased from breeders all over.
Answer #2: In the US, every state is different in that category, Zebra's considered an Exotic Animal, and some states don't allow them. But for Texas it says:
- A license is required to own many animals the state considers to be dangerous. This includes bears, coyotes, cougars, chimps, lions, tigers and many others. There are no laws regarding monkeys, wolves and other animals.

The African elephant is the largest living land animal, renowned for its intelligence, memory, unique communication methods and amazing social behaviour. The heaviest elephant ever recorded weighed about 7,500 kg but on average they weigh about 5,400 kg. Initially there was thought to be the only two species of the Elephantidae family - the African elephant along with the Asian elephant. Recently a distinction was made between the African Bush Elephant »Loxodonta Africana and the African Forest Elephant »Loxodonta Cyclotis as two separate species (still collectively known as the African Elephant) - which means there are actually three living species of Elephantidae. In addition to being bigger than the Asian elephant, the African elephant has proportionately larger ears and tusks and a sloping forehead. It also has two "fingers" at the end of its trunk, whereas the Asian elephant has only one. An elephant's trunk is almost as capable as the human hand yet is remarkably strong - it can delicately pick up a seed pod or tear down a tree branch. They also use it to smell, for communicating with each other and sucking up water for drinking. Elephant tusks are actually just extremely elongated incisor teeth that keep growing throughout the elephant's life. Tusks function as multipurpose tools to dig for water, chisel bark off trees and as weapons to defend themselves against aggressors and predators. Elephants are nocturnal and diurnal, needing to forage for more than 14 hours a day to find a considerable quantity of food - an adult can consume as much as 300 kg in a day! It sleeps for just a few minutes whilst standing. They like to visit waterholes at least once a day to drink, bathe and wallow in mud. Typically, they drink between 70 to 150 litres a day.
