Talk:Burchell's zebra

concludes synchronization of a time budget

Year-round reproduction observed in this subspecies in Etosha National Park, Namibia, concludes synchronization of a time budget between males and females, possibly explaining the lack of sexual dimorphism.

What the heck does this even mean? How can "Year-round reproduction" "conclude" anything? Would "indicates" be a better word here? What is "synchronization of a time budget between males and females"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.93.61.178 (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

What Extinct subpopulation?

I don’t understand the last part of this article. The first part seems to be about a common zebra that can even be farmed for food in the UK. The last part talks about a zebra thought to have gone extinct a hundred years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.85.54 (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

The Name- Burchell

Are we still propagating the action of naming animals, plants, water bodies using some old white men's names? We are now in 2024. Use the original, traditional names of nature rather than some guy who 'discovered it". 197.248.40.249 (talk) 04:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

It's not up to us to decide what the English common names are. If the common name is officially changed and widely adopted, sure, we can change it. FunkMonk (talk) 11:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
