Herbivores of the equidae family, zebras feed quietly while antelopes approach the river to drink. Animals of different species are frequently in contact and can mix with each other without competition. The most commonly observed neighborhood relation is that of the meal taken together by herbivores of different species such as zebras and antelopes in the same place. Herbivores do not all look for the same plants or the same part of these plants, some preferring soft shoots, others sturdier stems or large leaves. They also come together near water points for drinking or bathing.
