Yes. Zebras are ungulates, meaning hoofed mammals. The Smithsonian’s National Zoo classifies Grevy’s zebra in the order Perissodactyla and the family Equidae, the same family as horses and donkeys, and notes that zebras have long, slender legs and hoofed feet that let them outrun predators.
More specifically, zebras are odd-toed ungulates: each foot ends in a single hoof, like a horse’s. Perissodactyla also includes rhinos and tapirs, while even-toed ungulates such as antelope, giraffes, and cattle belong to a separate group. All three living zebra species, the plains, mountain, and Grevy’s zebra, are in the genus Equus.
