Stripes of distinction.................

Zebra - Equus burchelli

No animal has a more distinctive coat than the 

zebra and each animal's coat is as unique 

as fingerprints - no two are exactly alike. 

They are social animals spending their time 

in herds, grazing together on grass mostly.

Prey for lions and hyenas, zebras are constantly on the lookout for danger. If an animal is attacked its family will came to its defense, circling the wounded zebra and attempting to drive off the predator.

 Drinking at water holes is a social gathering - note a vulture in the background.

 On these above you can see the Red-billed Oxpeckers searching for parasites on the back of the one in the center.

Zebras are fun to watch.................this post is especially for my young friend Kyle who loves zebras. I really hope some day he will get to see them in their natural habitat.
