Zebras
My first zebras in the wild!
Lake Mburo National Park’s rolling hills and grasslands support impala, elands, water buffalo, warthogs, hyenas and zebras.
Here are some things I didn’t know about zebras. When a foal is born, the mother keeps everyone away until her new born recognizes her by sight, voice and smell. Her male foal stays with her for 1-4 years and then leaves to join the male group.
It is also quite the female hierarchical system. The dominant mare is followed in single file by everyone else accept the stallion who operates outside of the system.
Great to see these furry stripes move in the wild.
