Emily and Florence the Grevy's Zebras
Florence the baby Grevy's Zebra, with her proud mum Emily. I was able to get much closer to them yesterday. It is horrible to think that this is an endangered species, due mainly to past poaching for their skins, with probably only a couple of thousand of them left now!
Grevy's zebra is the largest of all the zebras and it is an endangered species. At first glance all zebra species look very similar to one another, but Grevy's zebra is probably the most easily recognised of them all. It is a very striking, tall zebra with huge ears and narrow stripes, which encircle the rump in a concave pattern.
The young Grevy's Zebra has brown stripes and a mane which stretches from the shoulder to the tail. The background colour of the foal's coat is light brown instead of white. This protective colouring helps the foal to "freeze" and blend instantly with its background.
