Answer:
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.
