Moreno Zebra Social Network
A Zebra social interaction observation dataset of 27 nodes and 111 edges, collected by KONECT. Each record contains directed edges: False, weighted: False, signed: False. This undirected network contains interactions between 28 Grévy's zebras (<i>Equus grevyi</i>) in Kenya. A node represents a zebra and an edge between two zebras shows that there was an interaction between them during the study.. Suitable for animal social network analysis.
