No, a zebra is part of the horse family, or Family Equidae. Giraffes are in a separate family all their own, Family Giraffidae, and are actually true ruminants like cows, sheep and deer are. Zebras are not ruminants; they are hind-gut fermentors and monogastrics.

No they aren't. There are many differences between zebras and horses, such as the size of their hooves, their manes, and tails.

They didn't. Horses and zebras are more or less cousins but you can't breed any combination of horses to get a zebra and the other way around.
