Zebra: Grevy and Burchell's
Read MoreA small herd of Grevy's Zebra showing the obvious differences from the Burchell's species. Note the narrow, close stripes which don't quite reach the white belly, the long ears with white tips, and a heavier body. The Grevy's is much less common than the Burchell's zebra and is primarily found in northern Kenya (Sambura vicinity). [Lewa Downs, Kenya].
The first 3 images are of a play-fight between a sub-adult Burchell's Zebra and a younger one. It looked like very rough form of play to me---those teeth are sharp, and wielded by strong jaws. After about 5 mins. the one who is having his ear bitten (3rd image) decided he had had enough, and broke off the contest..[Masai Mara, Kenya]
This is a typical scene of Burchell's Zebras. There was a small pond in front of the kopje behind them, where they came to have a drink. Zebra, unlike Wildebeests, enjoy eating the coarse grass. (A kopje is an upthrusting of rock, tens of thousands of years old. It can be smaller than this, or bigger than a city block). [Serengeti, Tanzania].
