The skins that are in the Grade C and Grade B categories are generally felted.
#Zebra hides skin#
In its natural state, the skin will be more beautiful than if it is felted at least in the eyes of the people who understand animal skins.

Felting is the addition of other materials to the skin particularly on the inside so that it can be stronger and durable.Īny weakness that the skin was having will be reduced in a tremendous way when felting is done on it. Some of the vendors of the zebra skin rugs will felt them in order to make them stronger and more appealing. The presence of scars on the pelts makes them less valuable to the buyers and the sellers. Because they often encounter with these cats, it is quite normal to come across a pelt of a zebra that has been scarred either by the teeth or craws of a cat. Zebras are herbivores and as such they are prime preys of big cats and crocodiles especially because of their body size. Culling involves controlled killing with the supervision of the government. They are in their millions and the authorities give an allowance for the culling. However, the zebra skin rugs that are allowed to be sold are those of Equus Burchelli. In some African countries, the selling of the zebra skin rugs is legal.

Zebras are in plenty and with their black stripes you really can’t take your eyes off them.
