Zebra - Equus quagga burchellii
They were difficult to photograph, very shy and they didn't stick around for long, or they were too far away for me to get decent photos.
Did You Know?
Burchell's zebra (Equus quagga burchellii) is named after the British explorer and naturalist William John Burchell. They are the most common and geographically widespread species of zebra.
The plains zebra is highly social and usually forms small family groups called harems, which consist of a single stallion, several mares, and their recent offspring. The adult membership of a harem is highly stable, typically remaining together for months to years. Individual zebras can apparently recognize each other by their striping patterns. Recent studies suggest that stripes may have developed to discourage biting flies. Experiments have demonstrated that the stripes polarize light in such a way that it discourages tabanids (biting flies) in a manner not shown with other coat patterns.
