Burchell’s Zebra

These were the first zebra that we saw on our game drive. They were checking us out.

I think that zebra might be my favorite. They are a lot smaller than you would think, much smaller than a horse...probably about the size of a small pony that you would get to ride at the county fair.
I think that this one was pregnant. She looked a little lopsided in real-life.
Their stripes amaze me-they are like finger prints, each one different on every animal. They look like they are painted on, especially on their faces.
