Say Cheese! 0787

Zebras, like other equids, use facial expression and vocalization to display emotion and communicate. I'm certain that cheese and my photo don't even cross this zebra's mind, while water might be something they are all looking for. The herd grazes on an open field of dry grasses. It's the dry season, and a dusty but overcast day give hope that rain may fall. Rain gives way to new plant growth within days and greener pastures are much more nutritious than old dry growth. Zebras are highly adept at chasing rain and storms. Other bovine species, like wildebeest, will frequently let zebras take the lead during migration, because of this particular ability. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #Wildlife in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Zebras #DrDADBooks #WhenYou HearHoofbeats #Canon #WildlifeConservation
