Zebras feature very often in this blog, which is no wonder for they are a magnet for me. They look beautiful out in the wild and so, how can one resist photographing these two standing so closely together?
As you can tell, I find zebras endlessly fascinating – look at this gangly youngster.
Zebras swish their tails to get rid of flies.
They also occasionally rest a hoof.
Zebras close-crop the grass.
This is what their heads look like underneath.

I had never noticed until seeing your photos that many of their stripes have “shadows” (faint stripes between the bold stripes)!

I never researched it, but when I joined a safari in Kenya, they told us that every Zebra is unique, the pattern they have is like a fingerprint, there is no other. Awesome pictures, Anne.

I could never accuse you of showing too many zebra photographs, Anne. They’re such photogenic animals! And you’ve done a marvelous job, here and in previous posts, of showing them off beautifully.

Much like horses they also have very interesting personalities. This only comes to the fore when you sit and watch their social interactions. People who don’t give them more than a passing glance would miss all that drama.

That’s right: zebras definitely have individual characteristics and personalities. I enjoy observing their interactions with each other.

I love equines and Zebras are the most unusual looking of these animals. They are so hansome. I always enjoy seeing your photos. You have a unique view of them. I only get to see them in zoos.

Really great close-ups of these zebras Anne. I think I may have seen them in the zoo, but it’s been decades since I’ve been to a zoo – gad I can enjoy seeing them here on your blog.

These are beautiful pics Anne. You have such a keen eye for detail. I had one look at the image of the resting hoof, which looked a little worn down to my unpractised eye, and the next moment I found myself studying the anatomy of a horse’s hoof on Google, hahaha.
