I just discovered this message board and noticed your question. I also noticed the answer you got from "somebody" and see that even here there are trolls with no information that drop in only to cause problems.

The answer to your question is that, yes, it is LEGAL to own a Grevy's zebra. However, because they are endangered you must obtain a permit from the USDA as well as having the necessary permits to move one. Anyone you would find who already owns a Grevy's should be able to tell you about the permitting requirements -- but be sure to ask. I know of one former Grevy's owner who got into some big-time trouble by not jumping through all the required hoops.

Incidentally, if you are interested in other discussion specifically related to zebras, you might stop in and check out the "Zebramania" message board. "Farm Mom" and I are regulars over there.
