There was a zebra fight. We think it was for mating rights, as it was the three females fighting in front of the one male.

Grevy's Zebra are restricted to more arid parts of northern Kenya, Ethiopia and possibly Somalia. Populations have drastically declined in recently years partly because of competition with domestic livestock for water. This decline is accelerating because of the continued development of large ranges in the best parts of their range.

The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), sometimes known as the Imperial zebra, is the largest species of zebra. It is found in the wild in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared to other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower. In fact, the Grévy's Zebra isn't much of a zebra at all - its DNA is more similar to that of a horse. The species is named after Jules Grévy, a president of France, who, in the 1880s, was given one by the government of Abyssinia. In certain regions of Kenya, the plains zebras and Grévy's zebras coexist. The Grévy's zebra was the first zebra to be discovered by the Europeans and was used by the ancient Romans in circuses. Later, it was largely forgotten about in the Western world until the seventeenth century.

You don't have to speak zebra to know who won this fight. Two male Grevy's Zebra showing a display of dominance. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya

 

I didn't intend for the focus to be on the foreground. I was taking rapid shots and as they moved, the focus point changed. But, I actually like the effect.

 

I appreciate any comments, criticisms and suggestions that will help me improve my work!

Unlike other zebras, the Grevy's underbelly is white.

Stripes on the Grevy's zebra are skinnier than on the common zebra, and the ears are large, rounded, and heavily fringed.

The Triad went to The Living Desert (the local zoo) today. We got in free because we are Bank of America customers.

GREVY'S ZEBRA

 

Did You Know?

•Stripes to a zebra are like fingerprints to a human. No two patterns are identical. AWF researchers use the unique stripes to identify individuals.

•Grevy's zebras can run up to 40 mph (64 kph).

•Foals can run with the rest of the herd within an hour of their birth. They can also recognize their mothers using their eyesight and their sense of smell
