A South African term for Burchell's zebra (Equus quagga burchellii), the most common subspecies of plains zebra found across southern and eastern Africa. The word is derived from Afrikaans and Dutch usage. Burchell's zebra is notable for its fully striped coat, including stripes on the legs, distinguishing it from other zebra subspecies. 'Dauw' is primarily used in South African English and Afrikaans, particularly in wildlife and conservation contexts.
The field guide pointed out a herd of dauw grazing alongside wildebeest on the open plain.
