Zebra

Of all the Fruit Stripe Gum mascots, the zebra named "Yipes" has outlasted the rest and has become the gum's main "spokesanimal." Yipes is featured on the outside of packages and on tattoo gum wrappers. In 1988, Yipes was made into a promotional bendy figure, one that can fetch relatively high prices in the toy collector’s market. The company that owns Fruit Stripe Gum has changed several times, but Yipes the zebra mascot remains.

Zebras are part of the horse and donkey family

Horses and zebras are closely related, they’re not the same species, but they are part of the same family, the Equidae family, also known as the Equus family. Although part of the same family, zebras aren’t practical to ride like horses, mainly because they are smaller and they have a very different temperament to horses.

When you think about going 65kmph in a car, it’s pretty fast and incredible that they can run up to that speed.
