∙ 8y agoThis is a bit of an awkward question, but the answer would be no. Zebras often doze standing up, like horses do, and lay down in recumbancy when they want a deeper sleep. They certainly won't stand up when they're sleeping, they'll only stand up if they're awoken suddenly and instinct tells them to get up and be on watch for predators.
