I
have to admit that when I visited Africa a short while ago, I thought that a Zebras were just a Zebras! However I have
discovered that there are three species of zebras: the plains zebra, the Grévy's
zebra and the mountain zebra. The unique stripes of zebras make them one of the
animals most familiar to people. They occur in a variety of habitats, such as
grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal
hills. In Malawi it was the plains zebra
I saw and will be showing you today.

Gorgoeus pictures of very beautiful animals. They seem to be rather small on the pictures, Thank you for visiting me and the correction of my mistake. I wish you a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots Margaret. Such a truly beautiful animal. I just thought there were two species, didn't know of the Mountain Zebra.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought they were make believe! Great shots and what a wonderful trek! Looks like you've had a blast.
ReplyDeleteSo nice pictures, zebra is a fascinating animal with incredibly great pattern.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those in so close.
Good weekend from Norway

Wonderful photos and video, Margaret! They really are beautiful animals!

Wonderful photos of these beautiful animals. The stripes are very pretty. Enjoy your weekend, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful shots of a remarkably beautiful animal. How thrilling it must have been to see them in the wild.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I am always surprised at the variety of species. But then I shouldn't be. Just look at the birds! Great photos!

They really are an attractive animal in that striped suit.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful! I especially like the two together posing for you! I petted a zebra once, before knowing it was not allowed. I bet you know that those stripes go all the way through to their skin!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing post, margaret. How wonderful that you had an opportunity to see these magnificent animals at such close range. Especially love the 6th photo down, though it's very difficult to choose between such wonderful shots. Thanks for the interesting info and for sharing your spectacular sightings.
ReplyDeleteHow cool they look up close!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great of the beautiful Zebras, I used to see 2 kinds at the Wild Animal Park. The stripes on the face particularly look painted on, such great art work by a master painter. The second animal has such a beautiful stiff mane, too, very impressive.
ReplyDeletenice to see your zeebra shots. It´s been a while since I saw one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the Zebras - I love the ones of the eyes close-up.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see these Zebra images. I find them fascinating their markings.
ReplyDeletezebras such are gorgeous creatures. so fun to look at. i wonder if any folks that see them normally - do they get tired of them? i love horses too. 4 legged creatures are too hip. ha. ha!! ( :
ReplyDeleteWoW, they are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI like the striped suit but where'd he get that mohawk haircut?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, these are beautiful.
Your pictures of the zebra are beautiful. I especially like the close-ups.
ReplyDeleteEven if there was only one sort of zebra, it would never just be a zebra, I think its more likely to be a ZEBRA!!
ReplyDeleteIf you see what I mean!

Gotta love the Zebra's which ever of the three types they are. Whilst most animals try to blend in to stay safe, they are the ultimate out there, look at me animals! Your photos are just stunning Margaret.
