Which mammal has three species - 'Mountain', 'Plains' and 'Grevy's'?
"mountain zebra was once was regarded as a separate species from Hartmann's mountain zebra based on taxonomic evidence, but recent genomic evidence has led to the two populations now being reclassified as subspecies of ""Equus zebra"". Like all zebra species, the Cape mountain zebra has a characteristic black and white striping pattern on its pelage, unique to individuals. As with other mountain zebras, it is medium-sized, thinner with narrower hooves than the common plains zebra, and has a white belly like the Grévy's zebra. The Cape mountain zebra differs slightly from the Hartmann's subspecies, being stockier and having longer ears"
"ass, to which zebras are closely related, while the former two look more horse-like. All three belong to the genus ""Equus"", along with other living equids. The unique stripes of zebras make them one of the animals most familiar to people. They occur in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal hills. However, various anthropogenic factors have had a severe impact on zebra populations, in particular hunting for skins and habitat destruction. Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra are endangered. While plains zebras are much more plentiful, one subspecies, the quagga, became extinct"
"Grévy's zebra The Grévy's zebra (""Equus grevyi""), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest living wild equid and the largest and most threatened of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is the sole extant member of the subgenus ""Dolichohippus"". Grévy's zebra is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower. The Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands where it feeds on grasses, legumes, and browse; it can survive up to five"
"Grivet The grivet (""Chlorocebus aethiops""), also known as African green monkey and savannah monkey is an Old World monkey with long white tufts of hair along the sides of the face. Some authorities consider this and all of the members of the genus ""Chlorocebus"" to be a single species, ""Cercopithecus aethiops"". As here defined, the grivet is restricted to Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea. In the southern part of its range, it comes into contact with the closely related vervet monkey (""C. pygerythrus"") and Bale Mountains vervet (""C. djamdjamensis""). Hybridization between them is possible, and may present a threat to"

Alpine chipmunks share the typical pattern of genus ""Neotamias"", being gray-brown overall and featuring three white stripes on the cheeks and four down the back. The flanks are muted orange. Overall the pattern is much paler compared to most species. They weigh 27-45 grams. Alpine chipmunks only live in high Sierra Nevada, from Yosemite National Park in the north, to Olancha Peak in the south."

In captivity, plains zebras have been crossed with mountain zebras. The hybrid foals lacked a dewlap and resembled the plains zebra apart from their larger ears and their hindquarters pattern. In 2004, C. P. Groves and C. H. Bell investigated the taxonomy of the zebra genus, ""Equus"", subgenus ""Hippotigris"". They published their research in the journal ""Mammalian Biology"".
