Plains Zebra
Zebra are iconic of Africa and have been featured in local art for more than 20,000 years. These are plains zebra (Equus quagga), the more common or widespread of the the two species we encountered. They are easy to identify as their stripes wrap all the way around their bellies. No two stripe patterns are the same. Zebra families consist of a single stallion, several mares, and their young offspring. Multiple families come together to form large herds. Ambsoseli National Park, Kenya, Africa. Conservation status: Near Threatened
