The Maneless Zebra is a subspecies of the Plains Zebra of savannah and shrubland of the northern part of East Africa (Uganda, Kenya and South Sudan). Usually given its own subspecies of E. q. borensis, it is sometimes described as a variotype of the Grant's Zebra, E. q. boehmi. Like Grant's, it is small and has fully striped legs. However, the male (stallion) does not have a mane.

Females (mares) and young (foals) Maneless Zebras (above) do have short manes. They also occasionally, but rarely, have slight shadow stripes on the lower rump and upper back leg although it is usually claimed that only the southern Burchell's Zebras have shadow stripes. With low numbers, remaining wild populations are threatened.
